Security Center--XP SP2

[JTKirk]

I just installed XP Service Pack 2. I've been using a Firewall from Norton
for some time now and chose to continue using it rather than the one
included with SP2. Every time I reboot my computer I get a Security Center
warning saying that my computer may be at risk. I open the Security Center
window and check the Firewall box that indicates that I'm monitoring things
manually (i.e., with Norton's Firewall). The Security Center never retains
that information, though. If I need to reboot the computer again, I once
again get the Security Center warning and go through the entire process. Is
there a way to get this to stop happening, short of uninstalling SP2? If so,
I'd appreciate help in learning how to do it. Thanks!

You need to update to the most recent version of Norton. Norton will then
"communicate" it's status to Windows Sec. center and the message should go
away.
