Ready to install SP2 for Win XP but.......?

[Guest]

I am ready to install SP2 for Win Xp Home ed. but I have already been running
Zone Alarms firewall for a few years. I am very happy with it, and do not
want to change. Will I experience conflicts by loading SP2? If I do download
SP2, can I turn off the firewall section? Do I need to, in order to continue
using Zone Alarm? I do have spam problems, can I resolve these with SP2.
Are there any other software
conflicts with SP2?

SP2 does not help against Spam.
ZA can be used instead of the Windows Firewall. You can therefore turn
off the Firewall if you use ZA. To test your settings, visit Gibson

Just disable the SP2 firewall and continue to use zone alarm.
