How To Disable Antivirus and Firewall ?

[phillyman2004]

I need a Registry tweak or a batch file that i can click on to do the following

1) Disable the XP firewall in SP1 and SP2

and..

2) Disable Norton Antivirus 2004

The reason behind this is that i do alot of SP2 upgrades on computers on my jobs network , and i cant access the network with the Firewall enabled , and also SP2 goes alot faster when the Antivirus isnt running in the background , 90% of the machines are XP home machines

Thanks

This is how I do:

;Firewall OFF
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000

2) Disable Norton Antivirus 2004

SP2 goes alot faster when the Antivirus isnt running in the background

Well, if that is so, then why do you want to install it in the first place?

Maybe he means the SP2 installation is faster?

Yes I disable the Firewall so that i can Install XP service Pack 2 , and i also disable the virus scanner so that it goes faster , but then after its done i reenable it
