Well having only SP1 isnt doing you any favours. your missing security patches etc and may have been compromised.

SP2 does not cause any problems, ive seen hundreds of machines using it with out a problem.

Id run Spybot and Avast! or similar first thing, as it aint gonna hurt. Then most definitely get sp2 installed.

You can create another user account and see if it has the same browser issues. Might be something in your profile, or may be universal.

Why do people still go on about sp2. The first version, beta and then live were a bit crap, but MS soon fixed that, adn tbh i think once you turn off the anoying security center, which is easy its fine.
