The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

using 2142 still doesn`t recognize NAV.

can anyone please confirm this?

AVG is recognized on alternate machine with XP SP2 2096

TIA

symantec has to update NAV and NPF to work with these features. last i heard ms and them were working together to get everything working by launch.

Any word if these updates will be a free upgrade to existing products, or just new to future versions (NAV 2005)?

they'd almost have to make them free upgrades to existing products.... the ****storm they'd get for not support newer XP installs would be too great for them to handle...

Why doesn't Symantec just get started now? They should already have this functionality ready, so that they can use LiveUpdate to update the clients on SP2, when it comes out.

because symantec is a lazy and greedy company that releases new software every year with nothing but stupid gui updates and maybe a minor feature or two. I've been using norton products for a while now, starting to get sick of antivirus updates going away after a year unless i want to pay to renew it... :angry:

I'm pretty sure that's what they ARE doing. Just like a bunch of other companies, i've read that they're working on it and hope to have the updates ready by RTW for SP2. I don't know if that's fact or not, but it seems like that's what pretty much every other company is aiming for - no reason for symantec not to be doing that as well.

yeah thats true and anyway face it its only a Beta not the final stage so i guess u just have to wait. That error with the security centre doesnt mean there is anything wrong with Norton anyway it still works right?

Norton, McAfee and Others which fail to link into the Security Center still work perfectly McGazza. They just lack the added "feature" of security center reporting.

I for one would like to see a adware/spyware/malware section for software like Spybot etc. Unfortunatly I think there is no chance. Unless of course, the media whips up a frenzy over how Windows XP is susceptable to this invasion of privacy.

Well yes thats what i said :)

i actually asked for that to be included in the security center (using the bug report, MBC) and the the issue's comments was

100-14760 DCR: SUGGESTION: For the Security Center - Include information or tools to prevent SPYWARE

Status: Closed

Resolution: By Design 

Comments:The product team has seen your feedback. Thank You for testing.

im not optimistic but lets hope at least it will include spywareblaster! although i would understand if microsoft didnt include this.. there is still debate on the legality of "Adware" programs with the FTC not ruling anytime soon. I suggested this since i got tired cleaning systems with these parasites.. its getting more and more difficult to remove them completely. sometimes i would recommend a complete reformat since some machines are completely taken control of spyware and browser hijacks!

Well so far McGazza mate, only thing I've got to say is everything works. Not hit a problem yet, not seen a bug. Anyone else?

Yeah me either chris but Norton Antivirus is still not being recognised for reasons mentioned earlier still, i hope it corrects that in the RTM version or in the final :D But my comp is a lot more stable and faster now :)

NAV :unsure: You're running NAV :rolleyes:

j/k (although if I was being nasty I might say that not many would recognize it as an AV let alone SP2 :D )

You're someone else who's mentioned the stability thing (I've ssen it mentioned a lot) but having run RC1, then 2120, then 2142 and now this, none of them showed signs of instability for me, but this one does 'feel' faster than 2142 and surfings definitely smoother for some reason.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
