Dear Frank,

Hi, and thanks for responding to my post.

I'm checking for spyware, adware, etc., as we speak. So far, nothing more
troubling than two "coupon bar" entries that my VirusScan caught, along with
40 cookies caught by Ad-Aware.

I'd heard about WinXP SP2, but had also heard that upgrading might not be
the thing for everyone to do (i.e., there could be a benefit to staying with
SP1, perhaps as the upgrade process itself can be problematic).

Nonetheless, can you please tell me anything specific about what I'm
experiencing, presuming it isn't malware-related?


One thing SP2 does is close some memory leaks in IE.
Also, WinXP SP1 is no longer supported and all it will get is some security fixes. I can't think of any reason not to install SP2 if the system is free of malware. If there is malware problems can easily occur with the upgrade. I think this has been the cause of most of the complaints about SP2.
