Has anyone tried it/ upgraded yet?
So far the only difference I have noticed is that it has its own inbuilt pop up killer in IE6.

No real change as one member mentioned earlier except an additional feature in explorer privacy tab for blocking and managing pop-ups.
I also notice that security has increased and though I have Norton Internet Security Professional, Norton Antivirus 2004 and Sygate Professional Firewall; the service pack2 seems to work more efficiently with Norton and tells me a lot more info about stealth processes via Norton Security Pro.Comment
