It not only provides users with patches of known vulnerabilities such as shockwaves, shockwaves, etc., but also adds the powerful function of Security Center. Anti-virus, anti-attack, and patching system vulnerabilities merge to make XP have a relatively secure defense barrier. Let's take a look at SP2 RC2 v.2149 to see how SP2 is better to protect our computers from viruses. Destruction and hacking attacks.

After installing SP2, we will restart the computer first. This time it is not like this screen before installation, but it is like this, this may be because SP2 is not official The reason for the version, the home version after installing SP2 is also the following.

Even after our virus database expires, the security center will automatically pop up a reminder to remind us to update the anti-virus software. Moreover, when the security center detects unsafe factors, it will automatically provide us with suggestions, such as recommending anti-virus software to us. In this way, the security center integrates our virus protection, security protection, and repairing vulnerabilities. The security of the computer is guaranteed.

After the upgraded system, if there are any hidden dangers in the security, the system will automatically pop up the prompt in the lower right corner of the taskbar.
