Lesson Summary

You can determine whether Service Pack 2 is installed by viewing the General tab

of the System Properties dialog box or by typing winver.exe in the Run dialog

box to open the About Windows dialog box.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes four major enhancements:

Security Center, an entirely new feature, provides real-time status and alerts

for Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates, and some antivirus software.

Enhancements to Automatic Updates allow it to download updates for more

Microsoft products, download all types of updates, and prioritize update

importance.

Enhancements to Windows Firewall enable the firewall for each connection

by default, allow the inspection of traffic from the moment the connection

becomes active, and let you make global configuration settings for all connec-

tions.

Enhancements to Internet Explorer include a new Information bar that con-

solidates many user prompts, a pop-up blocker, and better add-on man-

agement.
