Norton VIrus
My OS is currently Window XP Home Edition Pack 1..i just bought this Norton 2008 and before the installation could begin ..it prompted me to upgrade my version to Window XO Service Pack 2 or higher..i tried going to Microsoft website but got very confused where to download.
anyone can assist me how to upgrade from the Microsoft website ?
Also, does anyone know any good website where I can download good English or Hindi songs ?

i have been using avg for quite sometime.. but then avg does let in viruses. I am talking abt the free edition, never tried the non free editions of avg.
I think bit defender is cheaper than kaspersky, but kaspersky has been my favourite.
@Plavt
please run a virus scan by installing kaspersky trial or something and let us know, i have a feeling that there wud be some viruses/trojans on ur comp.

i wonder why your XP didnt download SP2 and all the patches. did you enable automatic updates? even if your XP is not legit, it should still download updates and patches.
if your XP is a legal copy, goto www.windowsupdate.com and it will find all the things you need to install on the PC.
as for your antivirus, norton is not a good choice as it takes a lot of resources. if you got a slow PC, you will really notice it. personally, i use nod32 (www.eset.com).
sometimes i used online antivirus scanner to cross check my PC is clean. symantec and trendmicro do it.

I think most anti-virus programs let in some viruses seems there is always somebody who will find a way to rumble it. I use Macs most of the time now and sometimes Windows vista or Windows XP on other machines but might give you suggestion a try when I have time.avallark wrote:i have been using avg for quite sometime.. but then avg does let in viruses.

I happen to know for a fact this is false.ScoobyDoes wrote:The auto update doesn't download the SP's, only patches for existing pack.durain wrote:i wonder why your XP didnt download SP2 and all the patches. did you enable automatic updates? even if your XP is not legit, it should still download updates and patches.
The last 2 times I restored my pc, SP2 downloaded in the background through auto-update. The last time I did this was October 2007.
