[dba-Tech] XP SP2

Nortons has a number of issues with the SP2 secruity centre (due to
anti-tampering measures implemented in the software or something) Check out
their website - there's a fair bit of info on it.
 
(PS - McAffee's had none of these problems...)

I've noticed one small problem with XP SP2 on XPHE. I have attempted this on

XPPro yet. 

This system has Norton Internet Security on it and after I installed SP2 
Norton asked whether or not it should report its status to Windows Security 
Center. Norton recommended not to which I figured is just going to be 
confusing to this user so I chose to report the status. 

However with the Security Center Alert setting set to report if the AV is up

to date when it first starts it momentarily warns that the computer is at 
risk because Norton is not turned on. It then goes away as Norton finishes 
loading. Bad news for the unknowing user. 

So I turned of the alert for AV and it doesn't do warn about it anymore. 

So basically it sounds like the security center is loading first - which is 
fairly stupid since it, in and off itself is not going to do anything but 
give warnings. 

Anyone else have issues like this?
