"Two" Update Questions I need to ask,



Hi:
My machine, HP is pre-installed with XP home edition.
After the installation of SP 1, my computer got slow-down, then I never had
a desire/reason
to install any of 'update' since.

However, recently I started to concern over 'security' issue, because one
of my family
members participating eBay/Pay Pal. Then, in my second thought, I decided
to install
at least some of 'Security' part of 'Update.'

There are many, many 'update' I need to install because I never 'update'
since SP 1.
There are 'two' questions I need to ask:

(1) Except 'beta' that I already installed, which 'security' update do I
need to install in order
to protect my eBay/Pay Pal account and its activities?
(2) Is there any way to purchase SP 2 by mail? In my recollecltion, back
SP 1, I obtained SP 1
by a mail paid $10.00. Is there still existing this mail-service, ...
buying SP 2 directly from MS?

Thanks for your help in advance.
