I said last night Norton was no good because it conflict's with itself all the time.Before M/soft bought Norton It was an excellent product,now it's sold by an M/soft spin off company called Symantec,it's been on a dowwn hill spiral that's getting steeper.

Microsoft and Symantec (the producers of all Norton-branded products) are competitors.

Symantec has no relation whatsoever to Microsoft. Microsoft does not in any way own Symantec or the Norton brand.

Do you really think that Symantec would sue the company that owns them ?

The simple fact is that Microsoft does not, in any way, own Symantec.

Calling me a "poor simple fool" is a violation of the TFS Terms of Service, by the way.

AVG rocks! I've had it for years and I've only gotten one virus. It was a pretty bad one even Geek Squad couldn't help us out with. So, we had to get a new computer but for the last year or so, no viruses! *knocks on wood*

Best thing about AVG is it doesn't just pick up viruses, it clears them for you.

I'm not your son, and I shouldn't feel "lucky" that a presumably mature 57-year-old man didn't call me something worse than a "poor fool" because I corrected him when he was dead wrong about something.

I also use Norton on my windows XP! How do you know if you have viruses on your PC? Are there certain tests you can do to check to see if I have viruses or not besides the obvious of buying the other products?

There are free products, such as AVG and BitDefender, that do a better job than Norton.

updating norton and doing a full scan or do a spot check every few months note down the response times and then check them a few months or weeks later
