When a new operating system is produced after Symantec software was released, new software compatibility issues sometimes occur. Because of these issues, not all current Symantec products are certified to run under every Windows operating system.

Important information

• A product can be compatible without being certified. Both compatible products and certified products are fully tested for functional stability and operability. Products marked "compatible" are tested by Symantec, and products marked "certified" are tested by an independent testing company. Any product marked "certified" is also "compatible."
  
  
• If you are looking to upgrade to Vista soon, please use our Norton Update Center for Windows Vista to allow us to help you get compatible updates for your Norton products. Click here to get started.
  
  
• Norton products that are compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2 are also compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 3.
  
  
• Norton products that are compatible with Windows Vista are also compatible with Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
