Ozidave Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Security Watch: Is your antivirus app still working? Are you sure?Recent viruses have seized upon an old idea: disable the antivirus app. Often, users don't even realize they're vulnerable to the next big outbreak.A big PLUS for the new XP SP2 Security Center firewall/update function is that it also checks your AV (In this case mine is PC-Cillin) to see if it is up-to-date everytime you boot-up and WARNS you if it isn't. It also has other blocking functions for Restricted Sites and also an optional/user-defined Pop-Up blocker which is a plus as well They must have an arrangement/agreement of sorts with only some of the AV companies because it states that this function is NOT available for 'All' of them.
