SP2 Security Center Virus Protection
After downloading SP2 in the security center I have
a "check status" under Virus Protection. Their recommendation is for me to check to see that my antivirus program (Norton 2003) is up to date and turned on. It is up to date and turned on and I did not check the box to monitor my own antivirus program. I would like to get rid of the "check Status." Any suggestions? Thanks.

If it's up to date try disabling Norton, then re-enabling it. This happens
from time to time with my McAfee too. -- Peter. Toronto, Canada. Windows XP Home SP2. Pentium4 Dual HT @ 3.0ghz, 160gb HD, 1gb DDR. wrote in message ...

Thanks Ronnie! I received a lot of suggestions and I
will give them all a try. M Pakrer -----Original Message----- wrote: After downloading SP2 in the security center I have a "check status" under Virus Protection.

M Parker I have Windows XP PRO The patch for the SP2 fix is a separate update program that must be installed. Go to the following website to get the patch. Symantec Support: http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html Click the Automated Solutions Tab and then click the "Start the automated support assistant" button. This will scan your drive for Symantec products and tell you what you need to download to make Norton compliant with the SP2 update. -- Regards, Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup so all may benefit. http://www.dts-l.org http://www.mvps.org . |
