when i get home i'll be downloading SE, and TF has a better version of Symantec shipping to me Monday so we'll see. I downloaded Firefox last night and it made a world of difference. Any other tips?

Not really. Just that you don't need AV software on your system slowing stuff down as long as you're careful. Symantec has the whole nazi "subscription" method for getting definition updates, which I hate. That, and I'm a gamer, so...the less crap running in the background, the better.

Any other tips?Be careful when you open the box. Tom loves shipping Sementec to guys he meets on the internet.

It's an NFR copy, there are no subscription renewals for virus definition updates.

NFR copy? Wow. That's killer. Never heard of them having a non-subscription version. I'll have to check my sources for that...just to have it on hand.

Yep.
It's a mixed blessing. There are a lot of apps that don't handle XP SP2 well yet. It's a lot safer than any lesser Microsoft OS, but it's still swiss cheese. Hmm, maybe not swiss cheese, but rather frumunda cheese.
There are pop ups that can defeat XP SP2's embedded IE pop up blocker. Firefox is wise advice, though I don't use it yet. I'm slow to accept change, most of the time.
