Also note that sp2 limits your open connections to a mear... 10 (so that if any trojans like the blaster worm are released the DoS attack wouldent be 'as bad') This could cause problems and slow-downloads from many p2p file sharing programs, such as eMule since your pc wouldent be able to connect to many sources.. how lame is Micr*$*ft :-\

Mike (by MAW), it appears you have not found the registry fix for that problem. You probally will not get it on this forum either...

Yeah wombat you're absolutely right. According to CA Sypware Information Center, KaZaZ (a P2P program) is now listed as one of the top 5 spyware threats.

Good morning all....I've had SP-2 installed for two months now, and still not one single difficulty or problem here. I am as "happy as a clam at high tide."
All is running fine....
