After assessing all the aspects of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP, an ITSD team has determined that the benefits of installing this Service Pack now clearly outweigh any liabilities. However, because SP2 works best with the current version (2.0.1) Symantec Client Security (anti-virus & firewall) or (9.0.1) of Symantec Anti-Virus (for home use), XP users should first see which version of Symantec they have on their computer.

If you have the current version (2.0.1) Symantec Client Security or (9.0.1) of Symantec Anti-Virus, then go to the Lab's software download site to download and install SP2.

If you aren’t running the latest Symantec version, go to the software download page and then download and install Symantec Client Security for Windows 2K/XP, which includes the latest version of SAV, before you download and install SP2.
