It is a hog and that is why your computer is so slow. Some suggestions for better antivirus protection are Kaspersky, NOD32, and I use F-Prot on my Windows machines.

It's really amazing how much trouble people have with Norton software, and how much it is hated and maligned (all of which I totally agree with), and yet, partially out of inertia, we keep using it. Anyone who has tried to fully uninstall it gets to hate it even more.. it takes pages and pages of printing out instructions, and when you're done....they still have their sneaky hooks buried in your machine.

Do not send email http://www.fjsmjs.com Protect your PC http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ gls858 If you study William's post you will actually find you agree with each other. One word used by William "maligned" was the wrong word to use as it does not fit in with everything else he said. The only difference between you is that William is basing his comments on having used Norton, whereas you are relying on what others have told you. SignatureHope this helps.

Not entirely true. I've been involved in computer support for a long time and I've dealt with Norton on many occasions. Just because I don't use it doesn't mean I haven't had any experience with it. Most of which was bad. gls858 gls858 Well a different type of experience then. In essence you are saying the same thing "Try another AV programme". SignatureRegards.
