Lesson 2 Identifying Major Features of Windows XP Service Pack 2
■ You can determine whether Service Pack 2 is installed by viewing the General tab
of the System Properties dialog box or by typing winver.exe in the Run dialog
box to open the About Windows dialog box.
■ Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes four major enhancements:
❑ Security Center, an entirely new feature, provides real-time status and alerts
for Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates, and some antivirus software.
❑ Enhancements to Automatic Updates allow it to download updates for more
Microsoft products, download all types of updates, and prioritize update
importance.
❑ Enhancements to Windows Firewall enable the firewall for each connection
by default, allow the inspection of traffic from the moment the connection
becomes active, and let you make global configuration settings for all connections.
❑ Enhancements to Internet Explorer include a new Information bar that consolidates
many user prompts, a pop-up blocker, and better add-on management.
