Hi Ian,

I'm afraid I don't know. I'm don't know a whole lot about XP SP2, and have
been moving quite cautiously. I have one SP2 workstation on each SBS
network. I've found no problems so far, but the A/V solution is Trend CSM
SMB.

I haven't followed A/V product / XP SP2 conversations very closely, but I
understand that A/V vendors need to make their products work with SP2
security center; not all have done so yet, Trend has.
