If you are not able to get the Security Center to recognise Norton
fully:

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way
Security Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.

For Norton 2004 products:

After installing XP Service Pack 2, the message "Your computer might
be at risk . . . " appears

For Norton 2005 products:

I think Norton 2005 have a tamper proof setting as default, and this
cases the Security Center to not detect NAV 2005.

Will this be fixed?

Symantec is planning an update, which will be available by
LiveUpdate. The update allows the Windows Security Center to
correctly identify the status of your Norton 2002/2003 security
products and give you the option of configuring how Norton
security products and the Windows Security Center alerts you.

When the update is available, this page will be updated.

Open NAV and run live update. (This works only with the 2004 and newer
versions. Older versions will not be monitored by Windows Security Center).

If you have Norton 2004, just run LiveUpdate and install the latest WMI
Providers update. That will make the Security Center recognize your AV
software.
Other wise just tell it that you will monitor the AV software yourself.
