I agree.  Have used Norton since the days of norton Utilities for DOS,
and have never regretted it.  AVG shows poorly on every review of
antivirus software I have ever read.

Antivirus/Norton Internet Security 2007 incompatible with Screen Readers

Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of seeing this message, since this
is _at least_ the fifteenth time I've seen it in the past few days since
the original was posted and about the third or fourth time it's been
posted here.

And I think your "excuse to dump Norton" is overkill. I just installed
Norton 2006, which will be supported for at least three years, if not
longer, and am extremely happy with it. LiveUpdate works flawlessly for
me and I have things configured so that I am never prompted as to what
to do with something the program finds. In other words, my experience
with Norton has been 180 degrees opposite from yours and right now, I
wouldn't think of giving it up in favor of anything else.

And if I were to even consider changing anti virus programs, my first
criterion after accessibility is that it be _widely_ used and
recommended by IT professionals. This would eliminate, for example, AVG,
which never shows up in any top ten list of AV applications favored by
IT professionals. I regard this fact as extremely important--if the
professionals who set up and manage personal computers for a living
don't use it, why should I do so? Not because it's free--in my opinion,
that's the worst reason in the world to use an antivirus application.

If you need another reason to dump Norton, here it is.
