SP2 without SP1

[Julian Glass]

Are you vulnerable after installing SP2, repeat SP2 on a vanilla version of
XP Home?

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

Vulnerable to what? SP2 replaces SP1 in its entirety.
One must still use a good antivirus program to help
avert virus attacks. Installing SP2 makes Windows XP
as secure as possible...for the time being at least. Make
sure you continue to stay up-to-date with Windows Update.
