I have the same question. My Norton expired a few months ago, and it still runs the scan sometimes. And asks if I should allow it to run a program and a few times, it says, "Your computer has been blocked from an attack"

Norton will protect from the older viruses (and other things). But anything newer will not be caught because Norton doesnt know it exists. But if u have a firewall it might catch some stuff

After your Norton expires, it will still run, but will not protect you from the new viruses that are being created every day. I suggest that you either Re-new or buy another virus scan service. Having your computer UN-protected can be dangerous, so you should really have a service renewal to make sure that valuable data such as credit card numbers and passwords aren't being key logged or the such. So, you are protected a bit, but in my opinion, not adequate.

I didn't take you at face value, and I'm fine with what's underneath.

Might be worth getting a decent free firewall such as Zone alarm. You are still ok, amost nothing will ever come of port scans and the windows one will stop most of them.

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation

Can you work out the code?

I sure did! But it's fixed now. After some extensive google searching I discovered that the problem was caused by that damn winfixer ad-ware. I finally got rid of it and now I am a firefox convert for life.

I'll check out that firewall, thanks!

How about unistalling SP2 and getting the patch and then reinstalling SP2??
I have already uninstalled SP2 in the past. It fucked up my computer and I had to reformat anyway. Way to much hassle just to be able to RESTART. Seriously, shutting down my computer and then hitting that big blue button is not much work.
How about getting an ad-ware removal program or getting that firewall that Pleaseremove told you about.
If you read the entire topic you'd know I already have ad-aware, and that I said I'd check out the firewall.
Also if you want, you could get Norton Anti virus 2005 SE from Google, in their Google Pack.
Good suggestion, but I'm perfectly happy with AVG at the moment. I'm especially happy that it won't pop up every single day asking me to buy a subscription.
