Windows XP SP2 Has a Dangerous Hole

WARM3CH: don't get too upset if some people are resilient to changes. they may have "shitty" reasons for not upgrading, but usually they are valid reasons.

have u ever experienced crashing your system after a service pack installation, or crashing an important application after you've patched? have you ever experienced trying to rebuild a pc, or reinstalling one from scratch because of a service pack upgrade?

if you haven't, then lucky you... you can upgrade happily everytime there is a new release out there. but for some people, going through this again will be another nightmare i know they'll never ever want to experience again.

it's a delicate balance, or imbalance. some may change, others may not. but one thing that's not good, is to force something to somebody. it'll all work out... i hope

my pc dont crash as often now after SP2 but the network activity is too much...i have Zone alarm ...even if i engage lock in Zone alarm my cable modem is showing activity...

Surej

cable modems always show activity, you aren't just on your own segment you know, with a cable modem. Only DSL give you a true IP of your own.

And even if TCP/IP is locked, you can still have streams attempting to "get in", so hence network activity.
