Norton disappointed me too often. Use Grisoft. Never failed me.

  Let's be honest about Norton Anti-Virus!

  Can anyone say anthing possitive about it's detection statistics besides the fact that they are poor! Take away the pretty interface [bloated] and you're left with a lack lusture scanning engine, poor heuristics technology, desperate support and stability issues, not to mentioned the resource requirements!!

  Symantec is all about marketing. Take away that and the underlying technology is not very impressive at all!

  Put that in your pipe and smoke it Symantec!

  Regards,

  Ian

  Hi,

This may seem like a mindless nonsence soution but, Symantec's Norton
Anti-Virus is buggy! Try Kaspersky or F-Secure! My personal
recommendation! You can download an evaluation of F-Secure internet
security 2003 from www.F-Secure.com It's excellent. I am beta testing
the 2004 version right now.

Best of luck!

Ian.

    Shhhhhh!!!!!

Ian....you are really a glutton for punishment for saying anything negative
about Norton here. Sure hope ya got your wet suit on pal ...;-)))

Good luck!
