asked on

SP2 and Norton.

Hello,

Can any body tell me if SP2 and Norton antivirus be running at the same time? Also is there a fast download of SP2 for dialup? If there is not I will just wait on my SP2 CD in the mail. Also I am setting up a Zonenet 4 port switching router. Is this a good idea for added security along with the Norton Antivirus? Am I going to bog down and not be able to get anyhing in or out?
I would apprecaite any and all answers to my question.

Sincerely,

Compucharley

Sorry dont use Zonenet 4 port switching router so am not much aware of it. But might be a case of overkill with norton
,sp2 and all.

I am currently running Norton Internet security with xp pro. sp2, with no problems at all. With the aggressive mal/adware, viruses and all that is out there nowadays, I don't think a person can be to safe, just my opion others may disagree.

SP2 and norton huh :)

gives me the idea to start publishing a new sticker...
Would go like this..

WINDOWS XP SP2....
RUNS LIKE A DOG WITH NORTON!

I'd uninstall pricey Norton and get myself AVG antivirus free edition and to top it up , a Pint of Kerio firewall free edition..
