The Symantec software is actually what spurred my move to using Linux. In the fall of 2006, NAV didn't catch at least one trojan horse which infected the program itself. I slicked my hdd's and reloaded WinXP but had a similar problem months later. I'm really careful with where my computer looks too, no sites which might contain viruses and the like (ie: porn, advertisement pop-ups, dating sites). Norton AV is far too expensive for the bad protection which it offers. As it is the number one corporate AV program, it's also the number one target of viruses. Just my $.02 PhilFo Go Linux, you should be free. On Sat, 19 Apr 2008 19:46:57 -0600 "Phil Swango" <pswango@att.net> wrote: > Gang, I'm looking for suggestions.
