Q: My system is soooo good. I do not want to mess with it.
Best Answer: 1.) Go to add/remove uninstall any programs that you no longer need or use.
2.) Start > Run > Type MSConfig > Startup > Untick anything that doesn't need to start with Windows > Reboot PC
3. Run Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware
How to remove Fake Software, Pop-Ups, Spyware, Trojans and Viruses:
Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete what ever they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.
Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/
Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht…
To protect your PC in the future you'll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use.

It isn't necessary at all, but it's a good idea.
It would be a very good idea. If I was a IT manager it would almost be mandatory.
there are already exploits that are not affected by SP2 in Windows XP (http://secunia.com/advisories/12321/)
