WTF? I'm tempted to split that crappy post.

I installed SP2 and it's great. No problems at all. So keep your opinion to yourself unless you're willing to back it up with facts. 
WDZ dont be so harsh, I asked for personal ratings!!!
but true extreme negativities are not really quality ratings!

also, i know that msn messenger adds exception for itself, thats why (1) i removed the exception manually, and (2) used mirc as another test program.

edit: i just noticed that DJeX was talking about sp2 in general not just the firewall, n i think that sp2 generally provides better security taking internet explorer into consideration and firewall, but guess u all know about the security risk the windows security center opens.

is it ok to use 2 firewalls like mcafee and windows firewall?
generally no, unless specifically stated from the firewall's provider.
an example is symantec's firewall, they say that its compatable with windows's firewall (ie. u can turn them both on without problem) but still u are advised to turn on only one.
