I didn't tru to manually recreate the AntiVirus environment. I sent an email to Symantec, asking for instructions on how to get the pieces and where to install them. No answer!
My major bitch and complaint these days is: there is no long-term employment, no senior staff members, no tech support. This has been the trend over the past 15 years. I was working for a computer com[any in Silly Con Valley, and they has 12,000 employees. they laidoff most of the senior staff, because they had high salaries, vacation time on the book, and we got a 6 week sabatical -that's 6 weeks paid time off. They gutted the place, then hired people from India thru an employment agency to work on all the new stuff. The company went under. The company wasn't interested in the emplotees, and the employees knew that jobs thru an agency only lasted 6 to 8 weeks tops. So the product and services go down the toilet, profits go down, there are cutbacks and massive layoffs, and nobody understands why things aren't getting better. Daah! Norton Tech Support is the same. Thier view of technical suppore is having a web page that list the 10 most asked questions. Yeah, I probably was running a PC script that had been converted from PC language to Apple language. If you run the UpDate procedure from the web sits, as it says on the CD, you destroy what you have installed, and then you can't fix it. Again, for the 10,000th time, a virus is a IBM PC application, that some idiot created. IBM PC code does not run on a Mac. Do you have DOS and Windows on your Mac? No. Why? Because it will not run on a Mac, unless you install a simulator application to boot up and run like an OBM PC. Then maybe viruses and DOS scripts would be of interest. Virus checking software does NOTHING. Its a hoax. It will not run on a Mac, and it only opens files on the Norton AntiVirus folder, not on the rest of your Mac. You have to test every folder independently. And the OS on the Mac can't read PC code, so it will never see the virus if it existed. DaveB -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
