[cvsnt] Re: cvsnt set up problem in Windows xp

[Bo Berglund]

AntiVirus breakage!
Please uninstall any AntiVirus program you have on this PC and test
again. If it starts working properly now, then fix the AV (change to
another brand, since there are many that *do* work with CVSNT).

If the Socket Failed message comes up CVSNT cannot work.
