SP2 less secure?

If you have installed SP2 and you use the XP's built-in firewall, get the latest patch for it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886185

The Windows XP SP2 firewall sucks!

Hey I am sorry but the firewall just sux. I mean I switched it off immediately after installing Windows and installed Sygate Personal Firewall instead. Those of you who use the Windows firewall...tremble and fear the future. It like a "bullet proof" vest with 1000 holes in it.

Nice analogy...
I don't use the built-in firewall either. My post was for those who does.

I use NIS for my firewall, it's reliable and does the job.
