-=PCTechTalk=- Re: norton problems

According to all the settings I checked it's only an AV and an Internet worm 
checker. No spam thing. None of the firewall and other stuff is activated..
I even tried turning off this worm thing and downloading ZA..no soap. I can 
download other things FINE. I just did a 26,000 something program for music, 
without a hitch..and installed. I just don't know. Wondering if I tried 
another  AV program--a freebee?? or another firewall? I know I had something 
called sygate---I didn't like it but maybe I should try to download 
something else along that line and see...
