Hi Grant,
Are you saying that you are running both AVG & Norton on the same machines?
I am assuming that they are not both on permanent scan of e mail etc?
If you can run them both simultaneously then that's my answer but I hadn't
thought that was possible, not for any particular reason other than
expecting serious conflicts!!
Can you confirm whether or not you do have both running all the time, or do
you just use one as a sentry and then use the other to do a disk scan every
so often?
