I have to agree with Mark. After having used various versions of
Norton Anti-virus for many years, I switched to Trend Micro PC-cillin
and couldn't be happier. I only use the anti-virus portion of
PC-cillin and use the free version of ZoneAlarm as a firewall. Many
years ago, I tried McAfee anti-virus and hated it. Updating was a
nightmare and it screwed my computer up big time. I have read nothing
good about McAfee since, either.
