Haledon, NJ | 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.

| 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.

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.

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. |
