AntiVirus Detection in XP SP2

[morganpugh84]

I was wondering what AntiVirus software is detected by XP SP2?

While we are on the subject, what about Firewall software as well ;)

[Schmoove]

Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition v9.0 surely is not detected (yet?)..... that's all I can confirm.

Wouldn't all the AV software be detected? If changes are not yet done by the time SP2 is released, it probably be added later. MS definitely not going to wanna get sued for monopoly of the AV section.

Firewall software should be the same. Although in the absense of any firewall installed, Windows Firewall will be the main default selected.

I'm sure that your current AV (or firewall) not being dectected by SP2 will stop it from working effectively.

Just that you will probably get tired by the nagging of the SP2 stating you don't have protection or its out of date.

norton 2003 pro is not so far

F-Prot for Windows 3.15

The new F-Prot Antivirus Update Monitor will also communicate with the new Security Center in Windows XP SP2, to be released later this summer, to help you manage the security of your computer and monitor the status of security updates.

I have AVG 6 Free Edition and is detected 100% in SP2-RC2 2149 and in Outlook 2003 also.

i hope Agnitum Outpost is detected or my Win box won't have SP2 installed

Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition v9.0 surely is not detected (yet?)..... that's all I can confirm.

If your using Corp you should be on a domain and Windows Security Center will recognize this. :ninja:

If you're still getting alerts about Symantec Corp. talk to your admin.

Also on a fresh install of RC2 b.2149 at home...

...NAV 2004 was detected for me although it wasn't in some of the earlier builds I tried.
