Hi Andy!
I love that line "enough trojans to run a horse race." I'm sure you aren't
bragging, hi hi.
Been away from Norton for several years now for all the reasons you
mentioned.
Yes, you do get what you pay for, with good support that really understands
how the chosen solution works rather than just googling for an answer, which
anyone can do.
73,
Dave

MSSE has received very poor reviews in the tech journals. You get what you
pay for. Stay away from Norton. Not only is it inaccessible, but it misses a
lot of things. I got enough Trojans to run a horse race. I have McAfee,
which is also used by my employer. It isn't the greatest for accessibility,
but most of the items are of the set and forget variety. So far, in 3 years,
it has kept my machine clean.
