People have to remember, any anti-vir*s is only as good as the user. If you don't update it, you won't be protected against current threats. I have gotten many infected emails that Norton didn't catch. When I received some of them, Norton didn't even have the updates, yet. COMMON SENSE is all you need. Many of these infected emails make no sense in the message body, a red flag right there. Many more come from people I don't even know...another red flag. And the rest have one of the familiar extensions vir*ses always use. If people would just look before they leap and go opening this stuff..these infections would slow down.. Allen...did you read this?????????? Seems I post this same message every month, or two, but there are still people that can't grasp this. Just because Norton, McAfee, Grisoft didn't say it was an infected attachment, does NOT mean it is safe to open.

I had problems with Norton about four years ago. I had installed it and updated. A a couple of days later I was zapped with the Nimda virus. Norton claimed I needed to upgrade to a newer version and it would cost another $27. I informed them to go F*** themselves. I uninstalled it and returned it to the computer store that sold it to me. The rest is history.
