I am about to download and install sp2 on my windows xp computer. When I
clicked on 'what to know before installing' on the microsoft update site it
did not say anything about if I have to disable any security features before
downloading and installing.

I have Norton Antivirus and Norton Firewall, Webroot Spysweeper and Adaware
personal installed. The Adaware is the personal free version.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Personally, I would disable NAV and all SpySweeper "protections" before
installing SP2, Betsy.
