SP2 Beta

I'm liking the beta of SP2 right now, and I have a good feeling the final release would be a good one.

Re: SP2 Beta

I'm pretty pleased with it to, but the current beta certainly doesn't stop spyware. Blocks a lot of ActiveX objects I need, but hasn't stopped a single piece of spyware/hijackers.

Swords Creek, VA		 I'm liking SP2 beta as well. It wouldn't run stable on my laptop, but my desktop has been perfect. The firewall and pop up blocker have worked as they should. I'm hoping the final release will run smoothly on my laptop as well.

Is the firewall more customize-friendly than the current one built into Win XP? I am looking for results similar to Zone Alarm without the bloat.

Re: SP2 Beta

It is, has program level settings. Unfortunately they still haven't set it up to allow specified port ranges, you have to punch in each port one at a time.

Re: SP2 Beta

Again, you know that this is available, but "Joe Somebody" doesn't. "Joe Somebody" is the person who Microsoft is targeting this Service Pack to.

Arlington, VA		 The article is wrong. MS put out a pop-up blocker about two months or more ago.

I'm almost positive that they're referring to Microsoft's "public" browser (IE6 SP1).

Either way, the pop-up blocker was included in the first beta release, back in December. So it's more like six months.
