It looks like we are through with delays as Microsoft releases their Windows XP Service Pack 2 to OEMS.
“Many of SP2′s security enhancements are hidden. It offers tighter control of communications protocols like Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Distributed Common Object Model (DCOM), and Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). The system is protected against buffer-overrun exploits used by many Trojans. The Local Zone Lockdown prevents Trojans from taking advantage of reduced restrictions for programs running on the local machine.”
We are still unsure when the new service pack will show up on the Windows Update site. PC Mag is recommending that you turn on the “Auto update” feature in Windows XP. The more cautious may just want to check their site frequently. We will report here on Designtechnica when the new service pack will be available on the Windows Update site.
