John,

Good point. As with any installation, most software needs to be cleaned up
(NO Startup msconfig active, auto updates, icons, ...).
Norton is actually the best there is on the market (with frequent Windows
updates), 
if you update Norton definitions every week when you scan.

Norton is a cpu hog though, so the ONLY things I have active are Incoming
Email scans.
That, a little judgement, resources monitored constantly on Task Manager,
and weekly scans will keep you out of trouble.



:-)

Sometimes these virus scanners find stuff that isn't really dangerous,
but they report it anyway - a bit like a new watchdog, he barks just to
show you he is on the job.

For years Norton missed this. Why?
