I understand from your first reply that Security Centre indicates Virus
Protection ON, because it detects Norton Antivirus.

I use Norton Internet Security 2004 with Norton Antivirus 2004. AUtomatic
Live-update is turned on and the last virus definition update was loaded
2005-02-23. Is this what you meant or did you mean I have to doanlad patches
from Symantec? If this is not handled by Automatic Live-update I have not
done it.
