From: Bobbi on 10 May 2010 10:29 Thanks, Bruce, for what appear to be really good tips! I'll check them out carefully. (I've been in Imperial Beach. Did a few duathlons (running/biking events) there many years ago.) -Bobbi "Bruce Hagen" <BRH(a)nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:OiF0fvE8KHA.5476(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > "Bobbi" <bobbi(a)example.invalid> wrote in message > news:emFKSmE8KHA.3276(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Thanks, occam.

From: LD5SZRA on 10 May 2010 21:30 Yes SP3 will include all updates up and including when SP3 was released. I suggest do a clean install before installing SP3 because there might be some hidden malwares that you may not know of and so it is better to be safe than sorry. After installing SP3, there is no need to have any updates because they will only slow down your system However, your Windows firewall should be configured so that "No exceptions are allowed". I am sure you know about MSE so I won't mention it here. hth Bobbi wrote: > > I have SP2. > > I haven't installed a bunch of windows updates going back 2 years, nor have > I installed SP3 yet.
