Thanks Frank. After trying one last time with Norton I gave it the boot.
'and with 7 months left on my subscription for one of my machines.

Tried the 60 day Business trial for AVG and wasn't impressed though. It hung
my Outlook Express with no obvious solutions. 'although I'm sure there WERE
solutions, I didn't think it warranted my spending yet more hours trying to
figure out their shortcomings. I'm sure it's good for many folks, just not
for me.

So if anyone's interested. I tried Avast and it's working out swell! :-)

'and remember! Stay far away from Norton.
