On a machine that has no viruses or spyware it should be pretty safe. In
other words do a complete scan for spyware and virus with updated antivirus
and antispyware software.

The applications that might be affected are those where a connection needs
to be made to your machine from the outside via the network, be that
internat network or the internet.

That being said you could always just install it, test your apps, try to
resolve any issues that you have. If you really can't resolve the issues
that you can always uninstall SP2
