I have plenty of first hand use of Norton's Anti Virus program - not a recent version.
I have tried to convey that this is OPINION and that I have not done any technical testing - I just don't like it for lots of reasons and cannot be bothered with the time to evaluate it (cos I don't like it and don't need to spend the time). If I did not have an anti virus solution which I am 100% happy with I would try it - until then I am happy to be totally unfair to it and not very technical in my gut feeling based opinion. You comment that I am being unfair in my comments about Norton's - but you say that you will not try the others. I have tried Norton's and the others and am not happy with Norton's and am very happy with AVG.
