Hi, everyone.

I have questions about Windows XP Service Pack 2, and
security center.

I have heard that XP SP2 has a problem with antivirus
software.

I searched the Internet and Microsoft Newsgroup to find
more information about it. And I found that XP SP2 has
some problems with 3rd party antivirus software.
Norton, McAfee and some other antivirus software are also
not recognized by XP SP2.

I want to know if it is just bug or it is because the 3rd
party antivirus software company did not member or
registere as 'Antivirus Partner Program' or member
of 'Microsoft Virus Initiative Forum'.

Anyone knows what is the real reason?

If it is just bug, is it going to be fine when Micorsoft
offically release SP2?

Thank your for reading...
