new XP install added SP2 then Symantec AV now Problem???

[Darren]

I have just installed Windows XP fresh on a system. Then I ran SP2. It came
up with a message stating that no AV was found (which there would not be,
because I had not installed it yet). I installed Symantec AV Corp. edition.
after reboot. The Security Center still shows that I do not have AV
installed. Should I chose to ignor and check the box not to let the Security
Center manage my AV?

Q: Why does the Windows Security Center say that the
status of my Norton security product is "unknown."
A: Your Norton security products contain tamper
protection features that prevent malicious code from
determining their status. This tamper protection also
prevents the Windows Security Center from determining the
status of your Norton security products. Shortly after
Microsoft releases Service Pack 2, Symantec will make a
correction available through LiveUpdate. This correction
will allow the Windows Security Center to correctly
identify the status of your Norton security products.
