I have sp1. Questions about sp2

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Ok I went to the web site to read as much as I could about stuff on the new
sp2-still, some things Im not sure of.
I have xp home,ZA free firewall (version 5), AVG antivirus, adaware, & I use
yahoo and yahoo messenger.
My concern is that these programs wont work properly or perhaps they need to
be configured to do so. Anyone have these same programs and can give me some
tips??
ALso, is sp2 really all that great??Have you all seen great improvements or
pluses on having installed this program??thanks

Here's the summary information about software and hardware compatibility:

AVG and the messenger seem to be allright; you need to decide if you're
going to continue using ZoneAlarm or switch to Windows firewall - don't
enable both.

Turn off the XP firewall after installing SP2, your own firewall should
be fine and is already "trained" by you to allow the applications you
want to have Internet access.
