405462 2005-11-19 17:06:00 Found an interesting article about the folly of NOT getting SP-2 for XP .

SP-1 is not enough to protect from this exploiter . It has a lot to do with swamping the memory allocation functions area .

There is some news about Win2000 here too and it's vulnerabilities .

Here's the article: . theregister . co . uk/2005/11/18/poc_attack_target_unpatched_win_bug/" target="_blank">www . theregister . co . uk

Yeah, but...isn't that what SP-2 really is...a good firewall?
