I'm telling you from experience SP2 didn't do sh!t. I've installed it on more platforms
than your family has fingers and toes combined !

Do what I asked. If you run Kazaa you are ASKING for trouble. Kazaa and other P2P software
is a conduit for all forms of malware. There are Internet worms specifically written to use
Kazaa to spread.

Please don't whine and be proactive -- do what I asked !

Microsoft is NOT the cause )albeit they just making it easier to be infected).
