Unless
you
update
your
version
of
Windows
continuously,
you
run
the
risk
of
your
PC
being
vulnerable
to
attack
when
an
exploit
is
discovered.
While
Windows
Service
Pack
2 is
more
secure
than
the
original
Windows
XP,
there
are
occasionally
instances
where
a
Windows
update
plugs
small
security
holes
in
the
Operating
System.
So
unless
you
are
a
fanatic
about
keeping
your
installation
of
Microsoft
Windows
XP
up
to
date,
consider
allowing
Windows
to
automatically
do
it
for
you.
Automatic
Updates

updates
in
Windows
XP
provides
high-priority
security
updates
that

prevent
your
PC
from

by a
hacker.
To
enable
this
feature,
click
START,
then
CONTROL
PANEL,
then

CENTER.
