Not many older antivirus programs work with Xp.Here are a few that do work well.Norton 2002(can cause problems,some bad reports),F-Secure version 5.30,and Pc-cillin 2000.

Added:AVG,On Track,virus scanners

Antivirus on XP

Tried Norton 2002, had loads of problems slow operation and freezes whilst virus scan was enabling. Asked advice of a friend who pointed me towards Ontrack Fix it 4.0 Utils, very much like Nort Sys works. Has its own updatable virus proggy which seems to work very well. I'm going to stick with it for a while.:cool:

Symantec 2002

Nortons 2002 has worked fine with no unusual happenings except that the update feature fails to operate and simple locks up. This is not good. I cannot determine whether the problem exits with XP or Norton AV

F-Secure v5.30 does not work with WinXP!! From today, there's a new version, v5.31, which does (at last! :eek:).

It still has problems with the XP Switch user function though. Therefore I'll try v4.0 of Kaspersky's AV for some time.

F-Secure has absolutely no problems under XP if you use a stand alone installation. The only issue is some dogfights with IE6, you have to shut down IE before killing a downloaded malicious script/trojan.
And have in mind that all good programs for XP (eg the stunning O@O defragger) came out LAST.

But still, it does not support fast user switching (v5.31 doesn't either :mad: )

I think that none program that makes use of Microsoft Management Console supports fast user switching. Have you tried with the management agent deactivated?

No, I haven't. I'm also having troubles finding a valid key for v5.31 of F-Secure Workstation...

I don't get it. I'm running XP and Norton Corporate 2002, and it works fine...no problems at all. I did disable live update because it disturbed some games if it popped up while I was playing.
