Well said. These are the reasons I abandoned Norton and went with Nod 32. I
have been very pleased. Kathye

Whether or not Symantech has or has not made substantial improvements to
their products is not the point.
May I ask, that you find the suite of programs easy to use because, you still
have a reasonable degree of vision that you are able to read the screen?
The main gripe that those of us who use programs such as JAWS and Window-Eyes
have, is that the suite of programs contained within Norton Utilities has
become more and more inaccessible over the past few version releases. This
means that we need to ask someone with vision in order to configure the program
for our changing needs. In my opinion, this is not equal access, that leads to
independence and being self sufficient.
I would also fundamentally disagree in your statement that the program does
not take over enormous computer resources.
Another reason why I do not use Norton utilities, is the difficulty you have
if you want to remove the product from your system.
The same goes for MacAfee and the AOL (arseholes on line) software and the
like

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.
