Bill,
In reference to your post re: Norton Anti-virus.  I have used the suite; 
currently NIS 2004, which incorporates Norton Anti-Virus.  I have not observed 
any marked differences in scanning speed as you cite.  Do you have comparisons 
for this, or is this based on your own observation?

Secondly, the interface with JFW is quite speech-friendly in most situations. 
There are only one or two occasions when I've needed to actuate with the 
left-mouse emulation.  Most of the Norton interface is a web-like interface, 
so it is quite simple to use.

The only oddity I've noted is when setting security levels with the slider; 
you need to do this with the virtual PC cursor mode turned off.  But, this 
applies to the Norton Internet Security portion of my suite, and not to Norton 
Anti-Virus itself.

While other programs such as Caspersky have gotten good reviews, the fact is 
that most corporate I.T. pros choose Norton or McAffee.  Almost every instance 
when there is a virus attack, almost always people are referred to the Norton 
Symantec website for removal tools.  Those things in and of themselves speak 
to the reputation of the program.
