XP SP2 woes

Finally got my PDC03 DVD set! I put the first DVD in my laptop, let it do its Autorun magic and the list of session tracks gets displayed in IE. Select a track, select a session, click on Start Session and...

Unh?

“Unknown Zone”? How do I set my security settings for the Unknown Zone?

sounds a lot like server 2003.

I am strting to disable Ax on my pc's as I have found crap on them I did not download or ask for -- tracking / spy app stuff.
and I see that with Ax set like that I see a lot of them dialogs telling me what pages are chock-full-o-junk (flash, flash banners, takeover ads, and the spyware entry points )

and recall that some of the worst trojans / worms hid "reinfection" tools on the local hd of the cracked systems....

one I cleaned off a server last year was running a hidden mIRC client that put up a copy of a hacked "Task Manager" so that you could not see mIRC in the task list.
it was also in the windows patch folders so that if you deleted it and ran certain apps it would re-install and keep going. it also hid a roge FTP server in hidden folders with names like CON: and LPT1: so that you could not delete the folders after you found them...

That is very nice and all, but how is it helping my situation?
