This versoin is cracked so cannot get MS updates etc...

Adam, do you have a HP Deskjet?
Spybot and Ad-Aware are a great combination?

Might be worth getting a fire wall such as Zonealarm then too. that way you can choose what program has access to what, and block the ones you dont want to have access .

Not in SP2, it's just under Windows Firewall in Control Panel which is much easier.
