odd thing.. I can't download Avast with Norton running and won't disconnect Norton while online since I don't have anything else going. Anything else I try to download works fine but NOT AV's or firewalls. This version of Norton interferes with everything else AV wise. I couldn't run AVG with it or even have AVG installed..too many problems including I had trouble logging on to the ISP with AVG installed..So either I dump Norton which I paid for or leave it for now. What a hassle.
