Few JAWS users on this list have been favorably impressed with Norton
anti-virus products. They tend to be less JAWS friendly and more
resource-hungry than other alternatives like AVG, Avast and Nod32. Quite
frankly, nobody has ever conclusively demonstrated that Norton provides vastly
superior protection against malware threats than its less expensive
competitors.

Hi. I have been a member of this discussion group for the past few months
silently reading and learning a lot. THANKS for the education!
I am not a JAWS user today, but I will be using it in my future as my
deteriorates. I have been on vacation for the past week or so. I am catching up
with email. I noticed a few posts bashing Norton and their 2005 products.
This is my first post to this list and I don't mean to ruffle any feathers
BUT I am a Norton fan. Norton 360 version 2.0 is a one-stop shopping product
that is easy to use, and I really do not believe it degrades the performance of
your system.
You don't have to integrate Norton Anti-virus and/or Internet Security and/or
SystemWorks to get full security protection and other miscellaneous performance
tools since Norton 360 has it all and defaults to a schedule of updating your
system when your PC has been idle for some time.
If the new version still doesn't integrate well with JAWS that is a serious
issue. If the new version is too expensive, yes that's another show stopper.
But Symantec has made many improvements and enhancements to their products
and I would give it a second chance. The company is certainly on top of
security issues.
Thanks for listening.
