Hi Bob, I'm now using the free Avast4 AV program I have found it very reliable. Some days I have received 4 updates http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html I have used Norton System Works on my computer after completely removing= all traces of Norton/Symantec products. The reinstalled just the NSW portion not the AV, both Win 98 and XP= computers. I did not write that article it was posted to the NTBugtaq group last year. I had to learn the hard way how to remove Norton/Symantec :<( Mike the mod ******* Mike's REPLY SEPARATOR ********* On 6/10/2005 at 7:09 PM BashfulBob wrote: what AV program are you using now? I have Norton's system works on the 98 system and it is still good. So I would like to keep it unless it absolutely needs to go to straighten out the system. Life is what happens in between plans.
