Re: Okay...Just made the mistake of letting MS Verify My System...

I've had problems BOTH with NIS and McAfee on Windows XP.

I've currently signed up with Windows OneCare (currently in Beta ... will
cost $49.95 a year per 3 systems - meaning you can install on 3 systems).

Does the following:

1. VirusScan - hooked into Windows Messenger, ...
2. Firewall
3. Tune-ups
4. Backups
5. Monitors Windows Defender

I have Defender on my system as well. Talked directly to Microsoft rep on
phone, they plan on a SpamKiller and Registry Maintenance tool in final
product.

If you still want to use Defender and NIS, you may want to turn off
Anti-Spyware part, but check it first.

By the way, the new Windows Live tools ... are going to eliminate most of
these suites out there ... plus be incorporated throughout Windows and IE.

that is a Microsoft product. You say "MS sent me ...", sent you? Sent
you how? By email? Microsoft does no such thing, most likely you got a
bogus email.

Heya fellow geeks...

MS sent me a "way' to get the Windows Genuine Advantage...and want to
completely update my software...and give me Guardian...Security
center...the SP2 package, et al.

I'm running NIS 2004..and i know alot of people have had problems with
running NIS and SP2.

Anyone running the NEW Windows Advantage and keeping NIS active without
any problems?

Thanks for the feedback...

That was my mistake John....I meant Defender....not Guardian.
