Boris Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 My advice :)Yes to SP3Yes to IE7Use one of the free firewalls - Comodo or Zone Alarmbut I would leave off updating to IE8 until it has been properly debugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshomaru Samma Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 my advice :SP3 - yesIE7 - yes but I still use Firefox or OperaFirewall - XP's firewall is not enough, use a 3rd party firewall and you can also use "poor man's firewall" as described here (step 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 In my limited experience I would suggest trying to avoid the negative stahics. If you currently have some just sweep them into a small pile (or heap) and remove them with a long handled renunculator....then wash your hands.
