My experience has been that Norton's is an excellent anti virus program, and
it even excels when you try to remove it. Removing it has screwed up certain
things in my puter beyond repair. Like I can no longer get to the update
page for 98 se, I just get a blank page, while my other puters can get to
it. so and so.
Life is what happens in between plans.
