    i cant remember what i need to disable on a standalone xp home computer. ive disconnected file and printer sharing. what about the others? on the screenshot do i uncheck all, but the (TCP/IP)? thanks :)

    i hope the screenshot uploaded, im useing IE with pretty much everything disabled, and wilders isnt in the trusted zone yet, is now, maybe its proxo's trusted zone i need to put it in, ive done that but things are still abit odd

    well if the screenshot uploads, what should i do?

    Well Ice, after much conferencing with my friends.... a Dragon, a Kitty and an Evil Eye.. apparently you can uncheck the scheduler also.. and in Services, you can set it to DISABLE... Qos RSVP it's under :)

    Also according to Blackviper's site... I am told by puffmd [name dropper that I am] :D

    Ice,

    All the Gibson utilities are no longer needed with Windows XP SP2.

    It is just a matter of whether WWDC, HTAstop2003, and DSOstop2 are also obsolete.

    i've just been going through some patches and WWDC, HTAstop2003, and DSOstop2 are needed, and also so far, now im not 100%, because i wasnt really taking enough notice, just clicking then moving on to the next one, but socketlock and plug & play are needed. if i find anything else i'll let you know. maybe i'll add this too that other thread, which i think you started :)

    Thanks Iceni.

    Very strange that Gibson didn't test his own utilities before making the claim they are all obsolete with SP2.

    I really like SafeXP on my two XP machines - neither of which has been upgraded to SP2. SafeXP would still be good with SP2 anyway, I imagine o_O

    I don't feel a need to upgrade them until I have seen every problem ironed out - they are behind my router and get very limited online use, and I update their security apps weekly more or less.

    Hi Detox,

    I was going to wait with SP2 a little longer as well, but this jpeg exploit got me motivated! :D
