I am planning on installing PC-cillin Internet Security 2004 on my
laptop which is currently running Win XP Pro SP1. I have not yet
installed SP2, for fear it may be buggy. But in reading various
newsgroups, I'm convinced that I should go ahead and make the plunge
with SP2. I have already been running this laptop for a month,
totally unprotected, over an "always on DSL connection" and fear it is
already crawling with various malware vermin. It already runs very
slow (2 gHz, 256 meg), and I am living in pop-up hell.

My questions are:

[1]
Should I install PC-cillin Internet Security 2004 first or SP2 first?
 Or ... perhaps it makes no difference at all?

[2]
After installing both PC-cillin and SP2, I presume there will be
several duplications. Should I turn off any features of
either PC-cillin or SP2, in order to avoid duplication and/or improve
speed/performance?

Thanks,
Henry
