Because the entire Norton suite is notoriously buggy. NAV can slow your machine to a crawl as well as cause all sorts of freezes and crashes. Disk Doctor has been known to totally destroy a hard drive during repair operations. And don't get me started on Norton Crash Maker (er, Crash Fixer or whatever they called it). Norton software that is out of date can be very simply a dangerous thing to have running full time on your computer. If you don't need it, don't run it. (And that rule applies to any kind of extension, not just Norton products... if you don't need the services they provide, don't run them. They are just slowing down your machine and providing possible conflicts). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
