destructionfever Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 I downloaded service pack 2 for windows today and I noticed it slowed down anything internet related. Is it really that important to have service pack 2? I already have avast antivirus, ad aware se plus, spybot search and destroy, spyware blaster, and microsoft antispy. I also have sygate personal firewall. Since I have all of these layers of protection can I do without service pack 2? Someone hook me up with some good advice. Thanks.

bigw Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 How much of a slow down are you talking about? When I upgraded I noticed no change in anything ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted November 4, 2005 CID Share Posted November 4, 2005 If you weren't having any problems before the update, then you won't be missing anything in staying with SP1. Just turn off your automatic updates. Is SP2 necessary? No. Is it a good upgrade? There are mixed opinions. Are you seriously at risk using SP1? Yes, but SP2 isn't going to help you with that.
