Anyways, the real problem at hand is NAV blocking SP2 from detecting if NAV is operating 😕[Please select your identity provider. - Support Portal](http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html) but, it only works for versions of 2003, 2004, and 2005? > [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883792](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883792) > Q: What about Symantec? Why does Windows Security Center not detect the status of Norton products? > A: Symantec’s product status architecture is unique among firewall and antivirus manufacturers and requires a different approach to guarantee detection of Symantec products. Symantec is in the process of developing WMI providers and has plans to distribute the WMI providers to all active customers shortly after Windows XP SP2 releases. The Symantec WMI providers will enable full detection by Windows Security Center for active Norton customers. > > Without the updated WMI providers, Windows Security Center will detect only whether Norton products exist. No status detection will be available. You will receive a “red alert” message because Windows XP could not detect an up-to-date and active antivirus program. For more information about Symantec and Windows XP SP2, visit the following Symantec Web site: > [Please select your identity provider. - Support Portal](http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html) ([Please select your identity provider. - Support Portal](http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html)) > Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support.

Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. > Back to the top > > Q: Will I be forced to use certain third-party antivirus or firewall software? Can I use software that is not detected by Windows Security Center? > A: You are not required to use an antivirus or firewall software program that is compliant with Windows Security Center. If you use software that is not detectable, you may select Windows Security Center options that let you monitor your security status on your own. This scenario causes a “yellow” caution state, but you will not receive messages that prompt you to change your configuration. If you prefer not to be alerted in any circumstance, you can turn off all notifications. > > To turn off all notifications, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type wscui.cpl, and then click OK. > 2. In the Resources area, click Change the way Security Center alerts me. > 3. Click to clear the following check boxes: • Firewall > • Automatic Updates > • Virus Protection > > 1. Click OK. ---

The Tech Tools cd is updated yearly. It comes out in late July or August. CIT updates the information on their website. Windows XP Pro is an upgrade only and it has 2 cds. One is 32 bit and one is 64 bit. It gives you one install. Tech Tools can be downloaded also as many people have said, but the cd we have is if you want a hard copy of it. Stop in tomorrow Mike and I’ll help you out. ---

i dont really wanna re-format…for whatever reason, my computer isnt running as slwo today, but i am going to get the Tech Tools CD with the Symantec update and re-install that and do the full scan and all that stuff. i’ve realized that re-formating is gonna be a major pain in the ass, and i dont want to do it unless i absolutely have to. ---

its actually not that bad… after reformating at least 100 times (not just my computer, I’m the computer guy for all my friends) it gets really easy after you fuck up the first two times [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/question-for-ub-computer-people/18470.md?page=1)
