Norton AntiVirus 2004 Problem
I recently had McAfee AntiVirus but the signatures expired.
I switched to Norton AntiVirus 2004 but have been having multiple of problems. First, setup completed successfully but I could not run a Manual Virus Scan. AutoProtect, however, would load. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now Norton AntiVirus 2004 Autoprotect will not work. I did a virus scan using Symantec's website and no viruses were found. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Michael |

Norton AntiVirus 2004 Problem
NAV2004 has significant problems when installed on Win Me and also when
installed on other operating systems. IMO and that of many others this product isn't fit for the purpose for which it is sold (and the same goes for most recent Symantec crippleware) and the best advice that I can proffer is that you return it and ask for your money back and then spend that money on purchasing a decent AV application that actually works when installed on Win Me. Not only will your PC thank you but also you will have money left in your pocket. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Michael Henderson wrote: I recently had McAfee AntiVirus but the signatures expired.

Is there a recommendation?

Norton AntiVirus 2004 Problem
Personally I use either Computer Associates eTrust (which I've used now for
four plus years, it used to be called InoculateIT) or the free AVG. Suitable products include AVG and eTrust (Computer Associates): a) AVG (Free version) from GriSoft (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php) b) eTrust from Computer Associates. This is an excellent low cost AV program that I and many others contributing to these NGs are using. eTrust and EZArmorLE are FREE to new users for one year until Jan 2005 (see http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm) Just the AV application can be installed if preferred. EZArmorLE is a rebadged version of the free Zone Alarm but does include a fifteen day trial of the paid for eTrust badged Zone Alarm Pro. Other possibilites include Trend Micro, Panda, Kaspersky (pricey but excellent) and F-Prot. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Michael Henderson wrote: Is there a recommendation? TrendMicro? McAfee?
