Well, seems to me that's the best way to set Norton anyway. ^_- Never really considered anything else except automatic quarantine. Which kind of makes my first point valid, I guess, in that setting up Norton to scan downloads is kind of redundant, yes? (what Symantec claims, as well) I just don't see any reason to do it, since it doesn't seem to offer even one iota of additional protection. Good point about needing to make sure this is set correctly to avoid download interruption and hang on a metered dial up, however.
