Hi Jo-Anne, all I know about Nortons - I don't use it myself anymore -
If you're running Norton's :
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/sharedtech.nsf/docid/2008051623512613
Numerous registry keys are added when you upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack
3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with a Norton product installed. Because of
these registry keys, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
Windows Device Manager is empty
Missing Wireless network adaptors or other hardware devices
Unable to connect using a wireless adapter
During the upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service
Pack 1, a tool called Fixccs.exe creates a series of registry keys in many
locations (some of them within the Symantec registry keys) but is unable to
remove them.
Symantec has developed a tool to remove the registry entries that were added
during the Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista SP 1 upgrade. Download
and run the tool to automatically remove the registry entries.
If you have been offered WinXP SP3 via WU (Wait until you're offered it -
that way you know the computer is ready for WinXP SP3) - you can always
download the full file if you didn't wish to wait for the CD.

I just received my new Dell notebook computer with Windows XP Pro and SP2.
installed, and I want to update to SP3. The computer came with no antivirus
program. I use Norton Internet Security 2008 on my other computer and am
allowed to install it on up to three computers. However, I recall reading
that there can be a problem when SP3 is installed on computers already
running any of the 2008 Norton antivirus programs. Would it be risky to
download and install SP3 before I have an antivirus program on the computer?
If so, I'll consider ordering a CD of SP3.
Thank you!
