Yep, NIS is installed on it with the OS. Doesn't say if it's a separate CD or integrated. You should have been updating it on a regular basis. I don't know what NIS does EXACTLY since I don't use any of their AV or security products (too buggy), but it may be a good program that you should be using. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." Yes, Clint, you did tell me that some time back (sorry, I forgot). However, Peter's asking me for the product information put me on another search and I find that Symantec is pre-instaled on the system (at least, that's the way I read it). See the product specifications page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=471644&jumpid=hpr_R1002_USEN&dest_page=product&docname=c00387087# or http://tinyurl.com/jxn9m It does mention, "HP Partner offers... Symantec Security Connection..." What with AVG, ZoneAlarm, Ad-aware, Spybot, CWShredder, and a few others, I'll pass on this Symantic and out it goes ... unless you think it necessary. And thanks for the Erunt lead. I agree that exporting (backing up) the entire registry doesn't always work. Usually I would just export one key when necessary. Regarding XP's System Restore ponts, maybe you're right. I'm downloading Erunt --- Harold > There are no pre-installed Symantec products to my knowledge > with any > Windows OS.
