I am such a wimp![ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#9)

After reading the comments about Norton products I have decided I am really a wimp! Way Way back in my Windows 98 days I would get an error everytime I tried to do a system update. After many tries I read all I could to discover the problem. One thing that came up was to disable Norton anti-virus and try again. It worked. Norton anti-virus stayed disabled and was soon un-installed. Now as soon as I see the Norton or Symantec name on a program I just keep looking. I don't need the grief. If everyone will do the same, this problem (and the company) will go away. John

Peter Norton should sue Symantec for defamation of character.

That's exactly what I was thinking.  Whatever happened to him?  Maybe they shrinkwrapped him and stuck him in a closet.

I'll also use this post to add my vote for AVG.  I even paid for the one on my laptop and if our company gets big enough for a corporate solution we'd go with Grisoft.
