You will note that I said Norton AV, NOT Norton System (don't) Works. I
have seen way too many problems with that gem. I know there are those that
have issues with Norton AV, but, I am not one of them. It has saved my
biscuits many times. And the Pest Patrol, I use for an occasional scan,
but, leave the 'memory' checker running.....no probs. And the best part is,
I get regular auto SR points!!! yay.
