Since the beta version of XP2 is installed, any pop-up ads are available from the front Disappeared. This work can be solved without installing any third-party software.

2, receive new spam and hacked.

in SP2, IE contains an ActiveX control can reject individual tools --Manage Add-ons. Add-ons are small programs for downloading to add networking features (such as the Shockwave Flash player). With Manage Add-ons, you can disable scripts from being hacked to IE or forced to log in to malicious websites.

Partial protection is as follows:

*Messenger service: The system is turned off by default, and the spam manufacturer will use it to use the pop-up function all the time. The Messenger service does not conflict with the Windows Messenger and Windows XP instant messaging software on the system.

* Memory Overflow: In the early years, we will receive a lot of memory overflow warning. This means that hackers can use these vulnerabilities to send large amounts of data and even attack your system. Although with the introduction of SP2, Microsoft has greatly weakened its threat, but it will not end there.

* Virus attack: the risk of flooding to a large number of attachments and Outlook Express in Windows Messenger. Unless you open them, the system will not be attacked. If you realize that the attachment is not dangerous, you can open it with confidence!

3, default open firewall

firewall program enables the system to avoid detection. These software can send Pings commands and listen to the answers. When a computer's port responds with a Ping command, it is considered a vulnerability.

Windows XP built-in firewall is turned off by default. SP2 fixes the problem and adds a lot of protection technology
.

However, after certain information can enter the system and broadcast - such as spam, firewalls can not prevent them from transmitting. Other firewalls, such as ZoneAlarm, do. Microsoft believes that the virus will definitely run malicious programs on the hard disk. If you agree with this point of view, Windows XP firewall is powerful enough. Otherwise, it is best to install a third-party protective wall. In addition, there will be conflicts between the two running walls, one of which will be disabled.

Windows XP firewall is very important for users with only one single host. If you have a network and a router, and the router itself has a firewall, there is no need to install any firewall on a separate host.

4, improved wireless support

SP2 new interfaces can easily find wireless networks. It shows the type of network, strength, and type of security. It is convenient for users to move between networks.

In fact, SP2 also contains a friendly wizard to set up a wireless network, or even guide the user step by step to set the security features, including early WEP (Wired Equivalent private network) and now advanced WPA.

SP2 compatibility is indeed a problem, software developers can solve through experience, but the average user is better to wait for developers to complete SP2 and other software compatibility testing. =CopyrightHot Network
