Hi,
I'm using Norton 2003 on a Pentium III 866mhz machine running Windows ME, a
1.0ghz Dell laptop running XP Home, and several 2.6ghz Dell desktops. It
works great. The only question that I have about it concerns e-mail
protection. On my home machine, the Pentium III, I apparently received some
sort of virus back in December and would like to know how to track where it
came from, as I never saw the infected message. I was just informed that
something had been intercepted and had to check the logs later to see what
happened. Any ideas?
Tom

two reasons. If you don't have an extremely fast computer, you'll find that
Norton greatly uses up your speed and system resources. Also, when Norton
finds a virus, it pauses all of your applications until you decide what to
do, meaning you can't use JAWS to find out what's going on.
