After install Windows XPSP2, my virus protection is off
in the Security Center. How do I turn it back on?

One person suggested that I install it -- but I think it
came installed on my computer (Dell)

Frightful that I am vulnerable.
 
I found out that XPSP2 just doesn't recognize my McAfee
anti-virus protector. I had to go to my Security Center;
click on the Virus Protection button; then choose
recommendations button; then check the box that I will
monitor my own antivirus program; then choose OK.

I was told that McAfee will come up with a patch soon
that will allow XPSP2 to recognize it.
 
Hi Susan,

You will have to wait till you get the update for your
Anti-Virus from McAfees so the SP2 security center will
see it. For now just check it periodically for updates
and stuff. Fortunately for me using Nortons AV 2004, I
downloaded the patch and XP SP2 saw it with no problems.
So just be patient.

Jeff
