Spyware Blocking with XP SP2
by Keith R. Wheeler

9/8/2004

The recent release of Windows XP Service Pack 2 finally offers some protection from spyware installing itself on your computer. In order to accomplish this, Microsoft has rewritten the system by which add-on’s are allowed to install themselves into Internet Explorer. In cases where an add-on which has been installed, a new add-on manager allows specific add-on’s to be removed without the incredible difficulty which, in the past, can take hours to fully extinguish. This is just one small part of the service pack which has many benefits. To get XP SP2 installed (and it does have a few negative side effects), call your Responsive consultant at 866.RNS.8300.
