Repa,
I have all my updates, but have yet to install SP3! It is lurking in my Service Tray, but I'm afraid of it. Am I ok without it, but with everything else up to date?

Rike, I haven't installed it either because of the reviews I've read. Keep SP2 updated and you should be fine. I'll do some more research in the days to come and see what I can find about the latest on SP3 and potential problems with it. Fay didn't report any problems, and my son didn't either. But I am of the opinion that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And SP3 "broke" a lot of machines when it came out, so I am holding back for a while, even though some had no problems.

Repa did you install a patch for the worm, and which one do we need?

W.C., just keep your MS updates current (either SP2 or SP3, whichever you are using), and you will be fine.
