You do realize that Norton System Works contains Norton Antivirus software,
and along with AVG antivirus installed, you have 2 AV software packages
installed - not a "good" thing - a very "bad" thing. Pick an AV software
and stick with it, don't mix/match.
I've basically ditched all Norton products, they've gotten too damn
intrusive and full of "bloatware" - in other words they've made a mountain
out of a mole hill. I use AVG Pro, 2 years for $30, for over a year now,
and it's done a terrific job and isn't such a memory hog.
