Solved: antivirus works for two Operating systems?
My brother has Vista installed on his computer, and he wants to install XP on his second hard drive which has nothingl on it. Question is, will Norton which is on the Vista drive cover XP on the second drive when he installs it? Matter of fact, he is going to lose norton when its up, does he have to install Norton or any other antivirus/firewall programs on both drives or will the program automatically cover it? I am assuming that he is going to use Kerspersky when it is up.

Theoretically, if he assigns his XP drive a drive letter in Vista, so Vista can see it; then Norton antivirus can protect that drive as well.
