I am confused. I have Windows XP and have just purchased
the Norton Internet Security 2004 Upgrade. I now see
that I already do have Microsoft Windows XP Internet
Connection Firewall and Automatic Updates and just need
to install antivirus software. At Symantec's support site
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/docid/200005
3008391436) I read a warning to Windows NT, 2000 and XP
servers that no version of Norton Internet is supported
on these systems.
--Meanwhile my Norton Internet Security warns me that I
must activate it within 14 days or I will lose the
ability to do so. Can I only activate the Norton
Antivirus portion of the program --this is what it sounds
like I am being cautioned to do. However, even when I
open Norton Antivirus I see that it activates Autoprotect
when Windows starts up. Is this whole system incompatible
with XP? Are parts of it incompatible? Can somebody help
me understand? Thanks. Mary
