I along with several of my friends use an antivirus program called f
protect which is extremely accessible with either jaws or window-eyes and
doesn't take over your computer like Norton does. It is from a company in
Iceland and costs 23 Euros a year.

Hi Carol,
As you know, I have had lots of Problems with Norton and when my subscription finishes this year, I shall probably go with another supplier. I tried McAffee and it seemed to break up my sound card. I was having all sorts of problems. I believe Sandra uses McAffee and Window-Eyes and has no problems, so perhaps she's more qualified to comment. I just seemed to get lots of problems with McAffee, that's why I stayed with Norton.
Regards
Mary

Hi all,
I know there have been lots of problems with Norton and will accept what everyone's saying but I am wondering if the problems some experience have to be weighed for visually impaired users against the difficulties of actually using McAffee. I have not used McAffee so would be interested in comments on this. Also I have not paid for an upgrade of Norton since they changed the system (less than a year ago) for payment and re-register and am interested to know how this works now and whether it is better. It couldn't be worse, surely, for me than last year when I think I ended up paying three times the going rate because I could get hold of nobody to give me money back for registering unnecessarily because I thought I hadn't succeeded!

Hi, George!
For at least four years, the firm who deals with my PCs advises their customers to stay clear of Norton products because they take up unnecessary resources and cause a lot of problems.
At 22:42 18/02/05, George Bell typed furiously:
I try my best not to be biased, but I guess I finally had to blow off when XP SP2 was released, and Norton had so many problems with it.
I will now openly and publicly declare that in my personal opinion, Norton results in far more problems than any other anti-virus software.
Microsoft's own Knowledge Base lists TWICE as many problems with Norton
as it's nearest rival, McAfee.
That to me says enough and justifies my personal statement.

Ah, some say AVG but others use Norton. Now doesn't this just make you hold a finger to your chin and go, hmmmm.
