Earl....
"to throw money at the virus software companies which love to add to the
hype."
It just isn't hype, the Symantec Norton Antivirus 2000, when place on full
strength can destroy, yes destroy stuff, never imaginable. I guess due to
the way it works, I had to uninstall and reinstall, Office 2000, two times
because NA2K corrupts Excel so bad it won't boot up. I lost a huge
important spreadsheet, it is now so defective that it will corrupt Excel.
Don't ask why? I was getting page fault error in Ensign for Windows, Excel,
Netscape 4.7. When I installed Photoshop 5.5 it took a week of fiddling,
the NA2K was corrupting the .exe file .... and on and on. . Keep away from
this monstar!..
I will concede now that I have it only checking the email things have toned
down. Very very few problems.
But when I upgraded the virus signatures from them on Friday, it crashed
proproxy.exe the program that intercepts email.. nothing is perfect in the
computer world. But NA2K sucks major bigtime on programs and the OS
