You must not have looked very hard.

Try here

These updates were released a few weeks ago.

Incorrect, if you look at my utility ver. below , you
will see I already had that update installed. Firewall
exception mode is the only way the utility will function.
Unsure if this is intentional or not.
Is this opening a security hole? My only question here.

Version 2.0.0.638 is NOT the latest version that was released last month.
The latest is 2.2.0.731. It automatically informs Windows Firewall that it
needs to use the network and is granted an exception.

The version you have is not automatically granted an exception and will not
work if you say no when Windows Firewall asks if you want to allow the
application to use the network. Saying yes means that you are telling
Windows Firewall that you want the BBN software to be able to use the
network and that it is a trusted application.

If you trust the application, you should install the update, which will work
better with XP SP2. If you don't you should not install the application.

Since you're using a beta release of SP-2 rather than the final version
which is available on the MS servers today, suggest installing the final
version of SP-2. Not sure if you can install the final version over the
beta you're running. I know that RC-1 and RC-2 are OK to install over.

The latest MSBNU version is 2.2.0.731, not the version you listed.
