I was running the cheap version of Norton system works for years but now I
see that has no more antivirus in it, unless there's a version I didn't know
about but I paid more and got less so I got Mcafee from my school, antivirus
only and it's working out alright. I can't say I wouldn't like Norton back
but I can't afford that right now, I have no problems with it and at least
it's reliable so far and I see it to be somewhat accessible, I haven't
figured out how to schedule the scan once a week yet but it might be set by
default. I'm not impressed, but I'm not disappointed either.
