With the benifit of 20/20 hindsight, you can follow a similar pattern if you downloaded SP2 before you built the system - which you no doubt already figured out.
I tend to think that way from the get-go, having gone through the agony (from DOS days) of needing to install a CDROM driver when my copy of it was on a CDROM. The one on the install-floppy was the generic version and wouldn't work with the installed hardware. It took hours to get it all worked out - and afterwards I alway try to have all available software on-hand from the get-go.
Another lesson it tought me was be more cautious about helping friends with their PC problems. Stories about that, alone, would make a great thread. I think I should have told people I worked as a shoemaker.

I didn't have a secured box to download SP2 from. I had to:
1. Install Windows XP, network enabled
2. Download SP2
3. Burn SP2 to CD
4. Reinstall Windows XP, network disabled
5. Install SP2 from CD
6. Enable network
7. Switch to Mac OS X

I did that once when I was reimaging my laptop (this was in SP1 days) to see how long it took before the system was toasted...8 seconds. 
If that's not a compelling illustration of why firewalls are needed, I don't know what is.

It is a legendary tale. Once upon a time, someone asked a question about 'CListCtrl' in the Survey forums, perhaps in thier inebriated state. From then onwards, it has become customary to fondly remember that first folly of someone in Survey forums by mentioning CListCtrl as a good, definitive source of humor and completeness. 
Also, a quick search got me a real CListCtrl article from CP:

I was wondering to suggest Chris to add CListCtrl to all polls as an answer, so there won't be any need to custom answers anymore.
Just kidding.;)

The sense of secure computing abstaining from 'rogue' websites or malaware applications should be from one's heart. AV/Personal Firewall help us in fact towards this goal. We need to cooperate to achieve the following:
1) Taking care of not entering bad sites even by mistake, like clicking on a Phishing hyperlink.
2) Have patience and remind ourselves of keeping the AV definitions up-to-date.

Patience for what? If your antivirus doesn't have automatic updates then you should change it, since this is a basic requirement.

Some people really get bored and kill the Update session if it is taking a lot of bandwidth downloading or is a CPU-eater during the pattern updates. I am typically talking about Symantec Antivirus which is known to 'kill' the system heavily.

Is Symantec doing something at all to improve thier products or aggressively looking at shutting down?
