By not installing Norton Products on Vista, your Vista install will be protected from Norton screwing it up. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie "Steve UK" <stelker@nowhere.com> wrote in message news:eaRvr3m3GHA.5092@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >i have installed windows vista on its own partition and also some programs. > > does it need to have norton fw/av installed on that partition as well as > my other os or will there be protection from the installation on my xp > partition? > > thanks.. |

Curious, why would you think XP could protect Vista? Vista is a separate operating system on a separate partition, and XP is not running, so XP can not protect it in any way. Also, Norton currently does not run on Vista. You'll need to use another antivirus program, and I recommend AVG (current version works) or Avast (beta version 4.7.881+ only). |

Norton consumer products do not yet work on Vista. You can apply for the public beta for Norton products if you wish. Nothing on your XP partition will protect the Vista partition while Vista is running. Vista has a built in two-way firewall.
