I actually included them, but took off a little to compensate for all the other Norton software I have running :) all-up it looks to be around 4-6mb that I can find :D

This seems to be fixed with NAV 2003 - I haven't had any problems with it so far, but I've only had it installed since Friday :)

99138 2002-11-18 08:16:00 Lots of people recommend AVG - but when you want to find out about a virus/hoax/joke where do they send you? The symantec site.

It seems to me that in order for all this free and excellent information to continue they need subscribers. If everyone switched to the free services it will cease.

I also cannot see how free services - such as AVG - can last indefinitely. The creator still needs to feed the cat.

I've used Norton for years and will continue to do so.
