First, I guess you didn't read my post. Second, in any *INDEPENDENT* tests
I have read, nothing else came close to Norton Antivirus for effectiveness.
There were two other links posted in this thread that will take you to sites
that will verify this. On any machine that i have *EVER* used NAV on, I
have never had a virus. On *EVERY* computer that I have used that had *ANY
OTHER* antivirus, I have had infections. If you don't like Norton, then so
be it. I don't care what your preferences are. I know, from years of
experience, what works and what doesn't. Hope you like manually chasing
after and deleting viruses and worms, cause that's what you'll be doing.

NoNoBadDog then you should remove the hook that's inside
your mouth because you're a fish if you been using norton
for years . All those years getting rid off for paid such
a high price for Norton , while their is cheaper anti-
virus programs that do a better job . All i have to say
to you NoNoBadDog your're a FISH
