    Xp without service pack gives the best performance.

    It does make it better. It makes it less vulnerable.

    THAT'S WHY YOU BUY ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM, RIGHT? OF COURSE IT WILL BE BETTER, BUT DOES IT WORTH ALL THE HASSLE AND POTENTIAL DEAD MACHINE?

    IF MS IS DOING A GOOD JOB ON SECURITY, WE DON'T EVEN NEED ALL THOSE ANTIVIRUS/ANTISPYWARE AT ALL.

    Do you really think so? It is not secure with the service packs and it is even more unsafe without them.

    Why are you getting so angry?
    We buy an AV FOR STUFF THAT CANNOT BE PLUGGED BY PATCHES.
    IF YOU CANNOT LIVE WITH IT, THEN GET LINUX.

    that's really what the SP's are really for...to hold everyone's hand. MS flips the switch on a bunch of stuff to "protect the masses..covering up things they didn't get right the first time.
