Got to UVa, tried to register to the network, ... and I'm told I have to install SP2. Interestingly, UVa had it's on version on its own server (one download we had changed settings in the registry to point Windows Update elsewhere), due to the high volume of students who would be installing it in a short time span.

Since all this mention of anti virus programs, ... versions of Symantec prior to 9 don't work well with windows new security panel, so you should probably upgrade. (I had to upgrade, and I had Symantec AntiVirus installed when I got this computer some few months ago. But no complaints, since UVa pays for the liscences for its students ...)
