I don't know what these guys are running into. I have three machines
running Norton Systemworks 2002 and live update on all of them.
Several years now and no problems ever. What is causing it? Why am I
working fine? Any problems I've had with Norton related to worms or
viruses. Sometimes one is out there before the virus definitions are
available.
Best regards,
