I am new to dual booting. I have XP Pro on one HD, Vista on another - no problems here. I am not sure how to protect both OSs with one Internet Security (firewall, antivirus, ant-spam, etc). TrendMicro I.S. on Vista protects whole computer but not when I get on Internet using XP (update games and such). All three TISs are in use. Any suggestions, please?

When you have two different OS installed in a computer either in the same hard drive or different hard drive they are treated as two different. It is like two different computers.
So, you should have separate security applications installed for both the OS.
