I love AVG. It is all we have used for years. I never heard anyone say anything bad about it. Norton is good but IMO it is too expensive and does not do the job as well as it should.

So, for some reason you will find a program works for some and not others. I have never had a problem with Norton and have purchased it for years. I'm sorry you had a huge problem with it. If required, I will delete my pics and leave the group.
