Requirements:
- Netdefender can only run on an OS higher than windows 2000 (i.e. Win 2000, Win Xp I hope Vista would not break anything)
- User must has admin rights (i.e. must be member of administrator group ) on the system.
- Default Firewall of windows Xp must not be running . In windows Xp with service pack 2 Default firewall is always running. So you need to stop it before running the Netdefender.
