WinXP sp 3 contains keylogger?

Re: WinXP sp 3 contains keylogger?

 

Thanks for the report, Edna. Symantec has no idea on how Windows

functions and doesn't care. Just go over the MS NGs and you will find

horror story after horror story all traced back to Norton 'products'.

 

A trustworthy firewall should *not* have to be disabled in order for

updates or Service Packs to install properly.
