Has anyone tried Earthlink's Total Access Software? It comes with a virus program, pop up blocker, firewall, etc. I received a copy the other day, but I am reluctant to install it before I learn more about its performance, resource requirements, and effectiveness. I'm currently using Norton, and I experience some of the symptons you describe. Thanks for any info!

Hi All,
I installed Norton antivirus 2006 on my desktop computer Friday morning and
I've noticed an intermittent problem like several times a day, where Jaws
just gets very sluggish for a few seconds at a time, I'm not sure if it is
Jaws or if it is the whole computer though. I thought I'd post here in case
it is a Jaws problem and there is a solution, I'm running Jaws 7.0 with
Windows-XP home with ServicePack 2.


Incidentally I installed Norton 2006 on my laptop about 3 months ago and
have not noticed the same behavior there.

Thanks.
Troy
