Despite Microsoft's obvious focus on selling Windows Vista to its customers, it hasn't yet forgotten about all those people out there that still use Windows XP (personally, I use Windows XP MCE 2005). The company has confirmed it has finally 'released to manufacturing' the third service pack to Windows XP - 7 years after the operating system's original release.

He surfs the web using Opera behind a hardware firewall with an AV scanner that runs weekly (I HATE real time scanning.. ugh). In the last few years, he has gotten like 1 "trojan downloader" virus that was inert. He knows not to download random crap, he asks me before installing things. I routinely do check ups on it and no, it doesn't have any root kits installed, either.
yeah, it might be unsupported now and "insecure", but what version of windows IS secure?

So what you're saying is your brother surfs the net using an insecure OS.
Windows 2000 SP2 is not a supported SP level, and hotfixes for it are not released.
