came with my cable modem Is essential for me to install my windows XP Service

Hi,

For the rest of the security updates, yes you should. SP2 is about more than
just the firewall.

"Necessary" is a very strong word. It might not be strictly
necessary, but I highly advise you to do so. SP2 gets a lot of
press because of its security improvements, but there's a lot
more to it that that. See "List of fixes included in Windows XP
Service Pack 2"

Besides, despite the occasional person who has problems with it,
the great majority of those who install it have no problems at
all. Prepare properly, and you probably won't either. Read
