    Right, I didn't consider that since I just use the free version. In that case, I'm not sure.

    If you are planning on using the on-demand/free version only, there is absolutely no problem.
    I've been running NIS2009 and free MBAM on XP32 for more than 4 months, not one glitch.
    I haven't tried the paid version with real-time protection though.
    Post a question on the MBAM/ Norton forum and/or search for answers there.
    Cheers.
