Kane, I found Norton to be too invasive and detrimental to my system. I have 
used Grisoft AVG for about 3 years with no virus problems. However, My home 
system is a LAN with a router, meaning that I am behind a hardware firewall and 
my ISP, Yahoo, runs Norton on the server. I ran Norton back in the DOS and 
Windows 95 days, but no longer.
