What to do ? XP SP2 and Norton 2003 ?

From what I understand, XP SP2 has a problem with Norton AV 2003.

So a client askes me to updtae his machine. It's got NAV 2003
on it, and it needs SP2. The user doesn;t have CDs for
NAV, so uninstalling and resinatalling isn't an option.

What do I do ?

I have installed Wxp Pro w/SP2 and the installed NSW2003 Professional
Edition and have had no problems with it.
Are you referring to any problem in particular?

I installed SP2 on a PC that has Norton 2003 antivirus and everything
is fine. Simply disable Norton before installing SP2 and then run
Norton LiveUpdate after rebooting.

Al: The only problem I had, if you can "even" call it a
problem, was that SP2 security center recognizes that NIS 2003
is installed/running, but it displays "status unknown".
Symantec has released a fix for this and you should get it
with your next "live update" it's called Norton WMI update.
After this is downloaded/installed SP2 now reports the current
status of my Norton Internet Sec. as "defs up to date and
running."

Prior to this fix, I didn't worry about the "status unknown"
notice in the SP2 security center, because I update my
antiviral program everyday, so I know the status already. I
haven't had ANY problems with NIS 2003 and SP2, just follow
Carey Frischs' recommendations prior to installing it.

Good Luck

Pam
