How do you know that *anyone* is using the complete Norton suite without any trouble? I certainly don't know that. In my personal experience, helping solve computer problems, 9 out of 9 times I worked with someone using the full Norton suite, including antivirus, removing that was the only long-term solution. I suspect most people who have it learn to live with the problems. In fact, I would say most home computers have problems on them (maybe not most Linux or Mac) and people learn to live with them. I find this all the time. Even people I thought were computer savvy have all kinds of problems I notice right away when I use their computers. Sort of like going to someone's house to find their TV has had a greenish tinge for the last year and they haven't done anything about it. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
