Hi there Grant,
I have Norton 2002 on my computer with Jaws 4.51 & I have Windows XP home
edition & I have no problems with it!
Cheers.
One fine day in the middle of the night
two dead men got up to fight
two blind men to see fair play
two deaf mutes to shout hooray
a paralysed donkey standing by kicked the blind man in the eye
he kicked him through a wooden brick wall into a dry ditch which drowned
them all!

Hello,
Actually, that is not true. My norton was not even set to run at startup,
and yet parts of it that you can't really disable still run. I guess the
point is that it's faster on some computers than it is on others.
Mine, it is certainly not fast, and I detest the web interface it loads up
because in order to view progress on the virus scans, one must refresh the
page each time.

That only happens if you install everything to watch your system, and if
you don't set it to quarantine the virus. Ben running Norton for five
years
and never got a virus with it ran avg and got one of the oldest viruses
out
there w32 spaces.
