Hello,
I don't have a problem with Norton, it catches my viruses, when I have=
them, and if I use the JAWS cursor, it works fine. A lot of people say=
that Norton's horrible, and that it takes up system resources, but I=
haven't found this to be a problem. The only slight annoyance is that it=
does slow things down when doing a system scan, but that's once a week,=
and it's not the end of the world for me if I have to wait 20 minutes=
while it performs one. I know that I'm probably in the minority when I say=
it works fairly well with JAWS, and that's alright.
