No, Jane. This particular issue, regarding Norton and McAfee
installations "fooling" the Windows Security Center" doesn't affect
anyone not running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. See my
reply to Daniel Royer, below.

Microsoft Window users need to be aware that McAfee and Symantec
(aka
Norton)
products can disable advanced security features of XP SP2. I advise
users
to
rid their operating systems of these terrible products and use other
means
to
protect themselves in the on-line world.


Hi Dan,
Is it only XP users that are affected?
I see you posted this in a 98 group so I have to ask.
