I downloaded and installed the unmanaged version to my laptop XP at home
last night.
It went well. The uninstall step of the old version came after, but the
messages were clear.
I decided to unplug my net/DSL connection when XP told me that it was
not protected. A small period of time when SAV was not active, but it
could be a window of opportunity for bad-ware. Is this a realistic
worry? My son tells me that it takes about 4 minutes for bots to detect
a vulnerable node on the web.

Subject: Re: Critical Symantec Antivirus upgrade now available

The installer was tweaked "not at all".  We had very good success with 
testing the initial build, and decided to release it unmodified.  The 
feedback provided by this community was invaluable.  Thank you very much

for your help, all.
