to answer the original question i am not aware and have not experienced
any trouble between Norton anti-virus and Protel 99SE
this is not to say that Norton does not suck however
(boy, that was a great sentence!)
i think aj's comment are about right
i have Norton AV and i find it works
quite well when it is disabled :)
seriously, with 7 machines all popping up Norton messages begging for my
credit card to re-subscribe in the next few days i am not going to do it
i have heard good things about AVG software
http://www.grisoft.com/
i have not tried it yet, but i will
one warning/combo question
when using Norton AV and Thunderbird mail program and a virus rolls in
an attachment, Norton correctly spots it (if not disabled) and the puts
a lock on the file
well in TBIRD the INBOX is a single file so all the message therein are
lost short of some heroics
this is of course a major nuisance
but the question is how do other programs handle this issue ?
i can see why it works the way it does
my working solution is a wonderful program (highly recommended) called
MailWasher
it lists all of the messages on all of the servers for all your email
accounts, just the subject and a few lines
easy to use and cheap enough for what it offers
then it automatically spots the virii and spam, you
hit 'process' and they are zapped from the servers before you ever
download them

One thing I've noticed about the curent anti-virus paradigm is that the
software is constantly scanning. Here at my workplace, our MIS
department has McAfee installed, and it scans each and every file
accessed at any time, along with daily scans of each and every file on
my system). In other words, the program is, for all intents and
purposes, constantly in the foreground, grinding away on the harddrive
and eating up memory and processor power. The nuymber of page faults
generated daily by this software is also quite staggering, and peak
memory usage is in the neighborhood of 75-80M.
You could always do what some other professionals do, and disable
auto-scanning by your antiviral software. Instead of relying on the
anti-viral software to manage your computer (as is the default behavior
for the average-minded, stupid consumer or paranoid MIS department,
desperate to avoid any contamination of networked computers due to the
fact that many of those same consumers also have computers at work),
perform periodic scans manually yourself. For instance, when you
download a customer file, scan it. Just don't scan the entire hard drive
every time you get a single new file...
My two cents. Probably be ignored as another crazy Jenkinsism or
re-stated by someone else here to their credit, but that's okay. At
least I tried.

Subject: [PEDA] Norton Antivirus software... interfere with Protel?
Does anyone have any data that would indicate that the slow
performance of Protel 99SE on a windows 2000 Professional
based system could be related to the Norton Antivirus program
interaction with it?
Lately my system is really running slow... I have 99SE and DXP
2004 on my system...
Any help much appreciated...
