In simple terms it is a collection of Windows XP fixes, and some updates and improvements, all bundled together in one huge file.

It is a good idea to install the latest Windows XP service pack as it often includes many many security fixes.

If you DONT install it you are leaving youeself wide open to hackers and viruses and possible stealing of your personal informaiton.

FYI, Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft unless you've already purchased an extended support contract:

i understand from professionals that xp will still have security updates for a few years yet
