Norton has been a very popular virus program for many computer, but the actual virus protection of these programs have big problems. I had norton antivirus installed on my 98 box and had a virus for many months even though i kept norton up-to-date and ran it frequently. (thank god for free on-line scans) (...) This is no different i tried to trial and that was the same.If you want a real virus protection program get pc-cillin (or even Panda but that is more expensive). It is recommended by all real computer geeks that i know(including myself, plus it is cheaper!! Plus it doesn't need to be updated ever hour and can detect virus that might be in your system that are not yet descovered. Norton is very slow and sad!
