Who? Moi?
I wasn't wild, until that person tried to pull me for being too
forward on my criticisms of NAV crapware!- with even less reason than
I had for making said criticisms in the first place.
In the end, Robear had to pull us apart - but I stand by every word I
said then (and would say the same again today).
I've still to see a quicker way to kill a PC than installing Norton
software (except the malware that Norton lets through)
I've had one or two discussions with more 'au fait' people than me WRT
AV's - and they still agree that the retail versions of Symantec
software leave something to be desired (while the 'business versions'
are possible up there with the best).
I ain't changin' horses yet, Tonto!

I have, though, decided that AVG has got rather top-heavy for what it
does, and have begun evaluating Avast ( as that seems to be the
current 'most-favoured' free AV).... so far so good - it seems to give
Vista a little more elbow-room than AVG did on this box, with no more
interference.... BUT! (you knew that was coming?) the user/control
interface is abominable! - no clarity at all in the freebie version,
and I still get confused (after 1 month) by which button needs
clicking for what!

(I'll come down of the high horse now Tonto! g)
