the thing is that i just said that i really dont like norton with no mention of the broblems, and then u point on norton problems in your replay
the thing i dont like about it is that lots of ppl regard it as the best antivirus around... and it is just isnt!!!
it install lots of services running with window, pumping windows indecating viruses that cannot b removed (which can under another app) and its just annoys me... the setup is long as u mantioned and there r lots of other anti viruses app that doing the same job (if not better) with less brouhaha.
lots of computer r coming to me with infections and spyware and the owner tells me.. how come i got all this with norton antivirus... doctor... and all the peripheral app that comes with it.
in general i think that anti virus app will not b complete untill it will provide anti spyware built in.
anyway.... this is what i think.. not saying that other r wqrong
cheers
