There isn't an antivirus program included with SP2. The firewall is part of
SP2, but you can disable it after you install SP2.

Txs Mikey , but I believe in the advanced technologies security section there
is a anti virus program to protect the pc from worms, trojans, viruses and
hackers.
Txs for the quick response.

Hi

I assume you are thinking about the Security Center that SP2 installs.
It is just a monitoring service, that will warn you if you don't have
an anti-virus program installed/enabled/up to date. So sebastion is
correct, there is not any anti-virus program included with SP2.
