Crashed Windows XP

Guest

After installinb MS AS Beta the system ran fine until I
restarted the machine. Upon restart I received a
Microsoft Security Allert saying "You may be at risk Your
Antivirus Software is out of date." directly after
displaying this message on start up the machine would
automatically restart.
To resolve the problem I restarted into safe mode and
used msconfig to set the AV beta not to start
automatically on boot.
Rebooted the machine and I then noticed that AV beta
had turned on Windows firewall, which would bave been
causing conflicts with zonealarm, I turned off windows
firewall, and ran Norton SysWorks03 and restarted.
Everything seems ok, mabey it was just the conflict
from 2 firewalls.

At this time antispyware does not hook into the security center. Antispyware
is not an anti-virus solution so I would recommend using an approved AV
software which hooks into the Windows XP Security Center.
