Norton AV is NOT RECOGNIZED in Security Center?

I did download the SP2 to test before applying it on any customers units and I cannot believe it, though there is an AV Software Watcher It refuses to recognize either Norton Corporate or Norton 2003 Anti-Virus....Go figure, only 2 of some of the most used AV programs out there...What gives MS? Sometimes things do NOT make any sense. BTW, running the Winblos Firewall and ZA is just fine, there are many log hits in the ZA even after SP2 WinXP Firewall is set. So I wouldn't trust it alone. But it was nice to actually SEE some of the XP permissions setting up and the suggested parameters unlike the dull SP1 Winblows Firewall setup. (BTW, the only time I say WinBlows is when I'm talking about either XP or the XP Firewall, I dislike them both). Give me back Win2K or even 98SE any day as though swiss cheese, they really aren't as much a target anymore like XP is today).

60 something patches and 2 Service Packs's (not to mention a million EULA's), and it's so bloated we'll all need to double drive sizes just to hold the OS, never mind all the new broken App's. (but otherwise I digress, XP SP2 isn't as bad as we were led to believe, apply it if you don't have a bunch of Applications on the "XP SP2 break's applications list."

Just my 2 cents of an opinion.
