Hello Justin,
I have stopped using Norton and started using F protect, I was recommended
this programme when I changed computers and find it great, I don't even know
I have had a virus, it just strips them and you don't even see the
attachment, I believe you can set it to tell you it has found one, but as
long as I don't get them I am not bothered, smiles.
