Fair enough. I agree with most of your last paragraph, although for me, that applies to my use of Norton. ;-)
Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've been running Norton for 2.5 years on my W2K machine at home with zero problems. As you say, what I've got seems to work, so I'm not going to bother changing now. Although it's one of those things where if nobody manages to send me a virus, how do I know my virus checker is working?! At the end of the day, I haven't suffered from a virus yet. Having said all that, I'll probably have a look at AVG when my current Norton subscription runs out... As they say, you pays your money (or not in the case of AVG!), and you takes your chances. Cheers, Conor -----Original Message----- From: Chrissy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have spent hours "fixing" systems for people who have used it and still got viruses - one comment that came up a few times was that "nortons is great but I have to close it down to do some things" - wall, it ain't great then, is it? Read James comments Having said that [about AVG] its free and definitely less resource hungry than Norton's, which I wont touch with a barge poll. My main reason for not liking it is that I have had lots of small time consuming probs with it and not with AVG or FProt (which I used before switching to AVG. I have not tested Norton's to find out if my gut feelings are technically valid and I have no desire to as I like what I use now and do not want to install something which I dislike just to prove I am right about it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Offtopic List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe offtopic" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/offtopic%40delphi.org.nz/
