Ditto for Norton Notwithstanding their high ratings from pcworld http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,125857,00.asp > I can't stand it any more.

That's been my experience with McAfee, the first thing I do when I see it on a machine is remove it. > What do you guys use for antivirus? I don't really care about their I run a mix of Norton (will be removed from last machine once the update license expires), Zone Alarm (Pro and Security Suite) and Trend Micro's PC Cillin Internet Security 2006. I particularly like the Trend Suite as it's VERY LIGHT on system resources and doesn't popup an insane number of alerts like Zone Alarm does. PC-Cillin has a few issues (see below) particularly the fact that their add on antispam component ONLY runs on XP. This is the component that integrates with OE or Outlook. > "privacy" and "spamkiller" stuff. I can deal with spam and I'll just go > back to Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm is both great and awfull. Great in general, awfull with their osfirewall feature which pops up an insane number of alerts for innocuous stuff. See Part 2 for my comments on PC-Cillin, this was sent to my circle of consultants and other geeks. -- Harondel J.
