    When I was a Nube I thought Norton was great. Well it is if you have 4gbs of the best RAM on the market and a cpu that has not been devolped yet with a speed of 5000 GHZ. It is a hog, but it works. HA hA

    Norton cant hold a candle to PC-Cillin. When i Worked for Best buy in the Geek squad area most of the problems customers had were spyware and virus infections. %85 of those pc's had norton anti virus already installed on their pc's. We would uninstall norton plug the pc into our store network where the pc - cillin file was located, run it and find hundreds of viruses that norton never caught. When the customer returned we told them to pick up a copy of pc- cilling for $30 bucks and they never had a problem again. After 1 year norton wants you to pay $20.00 more for definition updates. pc -cillin is always free after you buy it..

    BIG thanks. I lost the link a while ago.

    Funnily enough, after I'd downloaded a utility from Fresh. Spooky coincidence!

    Ever used McAfee. It's about 10x worse than Norton. My dad had it on his. Worked fine for a while but then it slowed the system to a crawl. I mean slow. Took about 5min to open a file. 10min for a program. It had rooted itself in there that it was almost impossible to delete. Took me a couple days to fix it. DO NOT USE MCAFEE!
