Does XP Service Pack 2 really have ten major holes?
A security firm called Finjan says they've reported a bunch of security problems to Microsoft that affect new, security-improved Service Pack 2.
Unfortunately, they refuse to release details about what the problems are. A couple of things they mention look to me like rediscoveries.
Without details, there's no way to tell you exactly how to protect yourself. As near as I can tell, everything they've announced is covered by the two rules of Don't Taka Candy From Strangers, and Don't Run Internet Explorer.
