Re the stuff on Norton and XP below: (related to Norton AV 2002 and the loss of the autodelete function for infected mail after moving from 2001)
I've found that Norton 2001 works fine (so far!) with the Bat in XP if the instructions found from the google search below are followed. Norton were very cagy about it working, citing the Microsoft compatiblity update as untested. in fact, I suspect all the MS update is is a warning flash on installation about the symevent file in 2001 being incompatible, but installing the updated file during the main install seems to work ok. Uninstalling 2002 was a pain, though - the uninstall routine leaves loads of stuff in the registry which I manually cleared out, and a number of dll files. Even then, the new install picked up my registration details from the 2002 install. At least my 90 day oem 2001 copy now has the 365 days of updates of the retail 2002 that was there before! My mail downloads are now fully automatic but I've disabled all the scheduled tasks just in case there is still a problem with Symevent.
