No, neither is trend micro. I have always stayed away from Norton because it really likes to take over all aspects of your system.

I would never, ever, run Norton on a DAW. It's way too heavy on system resources. You have a couple of choices. 1: you could disconnect from the internet and close all of your Norton products down. Then, try loading and running the same project again. 2: if you need to be connected to the Internet then, you could get the free AVG antivirus from: www.grisoft.com/ Or, you could purchase the professional version. That's what I run here. You can keep it running and it's not at all heavy on system resources.

If I start playing a song from the middle, Jaws seems to stop working, and the stop function (space bar) will not stop the song. The song keeps playing, and sonar seems frozen or something. 2. When I'm recording audio, I'm getting random static-like clicking noise. Gord was just at my place training me, and we were both at a loss as to what could be causing this. Gord suggested that I disconnect from the internet, and it seemed to slightly diminish the problem, but the noise is still there. I figured I'd post these issues on here to see if anyone else is experiencing any of them. Thanks. Omar Binno
