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

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.
