Hi,
I have found that the SP2 Security Alert cant remember the ticked setting, confirming I will monitor Firewall settings myself. I have Norton Int Security 2002 and the alert comes up at every logon, I tick to say I will monitor but it does not remember this so it becomes tiresome. Any ideas?

Andrew

Apparently there is a patch (WMI update)
which allows Windows Security Center to communicate properly with Norton
Antivirus. Unfortunately it's only available so far for Antivirus 2004/2005.

If running AV 2002/2003, the 2004 WMI update will work. (don't know about
earlier versions). Symantec does not provide a direct download (only through
LiveUpdate) but if you wish, you can download it here:

http://www.neowin.net/staff/RadishTM/Norton_WMI_Update.rar

Note: You will need a program to be able to uncompress the downloaded file.
It's not in the normal zip format, but rather uses RAR compression. Look
for the shareware version of WinRAR which will be able to uncompress the
files.

Also, Symantec support has stated they will release the WMI update for NAV
2002/2003 shortly. You may want to wait for that instead.

You may find this page helpful at Symantec:
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html and if you run the "automated
solutions" wizard, it may find updates that LiveUpdate missed.

Jopa,

Thanks for that. I will lookout for the Norton remedy. I still believe that Win SP2 is at fault because if you tick to say you will monitor it yourself, surely the message should not keep bubbling up? I assumed this tickbox was to prevent Windows from keep looking.
