Re: Ping: Duck re. Norton

Ok. Did as you suggested. It only took less than a minute, then called for a "restart", which I allowed. When the computer came back up there was no Norton to be seen. (Maybe it was uninstalled quickly because I had never enabled it to begin with).

I got a balloon from Windows telling me I didn't have any anti-virus programs installed.
The Windows firewall is on, but it said no virus protection software was detected.

I figured "good", and then proceeded to try and install the AVG software.
The installation started, extracted all the files, etc., then a message came up saying that it had detected another installed anti-virus program and didn't recommend continuing unless I got rid of whatever it is. So, I aborted the installation.

Windows Defender?

No. I installed AVG on one of my VISTA machine while Defender was running. Defender is not an anti-vi...

Windows Live One Care, though, does contain an anti-vi, if memory serves.

But it is a sign up and pay for service, I think.
