Re: XP Pro Upgrade

Hi,
I think the this is guy is right and You should remove the McAfee
because it has no goodwill in the market... and then I suggest you that
you should install the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.x. It
the best and Install any firewall of Norton too. It is good.
Now you should post that what sort of trouble you are facing... man to
get the correct sort of help.

When I decided to upgrade from WindowsXP Home Edition SP2 to WindowsXP Pro
SP2 I bought the Upgrade version of XP Pro and as I know nothing re
installing and reformatting, I got someone to do it for me.
After this person finished the reformat he went ahead and, using only the
WindowsXP Pro Upgrade, he installed it on my computer.
I mentioned that I thought that I he would have had to install the
WindowsXP Home Edition SP2 first and then linstall the WindowsXP Pro
He assured me that this was not the case.
Ever since he completed the job I have had nothing but trouble.
The person that did the job now tells me that the problems I am having are
caused by McAfee AV ver 11.0 and not the way he did the Upgrade.
Did he do the right thing by just installing the upgrade?
