recent thread regarding SP2

In spite of the fact that some people are having problems with SP2, I still cannot recommend it strongly enough for all home users. Just make sure to create a system restore point before installing (I think it does that itself actually) and if you have problems, boot to safe mode and uninstall it.

There will always be people who have problems with any software update, and they will always be the most vocal (the people who don't have problems rarely post). But XP SP2 is a great piece of software, and I've installed it on literally dozens of computers without a problem. Other than installing Firefox and learning to click "No" by default, installing SP2 is the biggest thing you can do to improve the security of your Windows XP computer.

I wouldn't know honestly, I run a seperate NAT/firewall box myself and haven't used firewall software in several years. The two I listed were popular, and both of them will do a competent job. It's critical that anyone who runs Windows without a hardware firewall use something though. For that matter, the built-in SP2 firewall should work perfectly well if you're running SP2.
