Legacy 7 seemed to work better in its own folder on the C drive. However, I reinstalled Legacy 8 into the default (Program Files) folder. The email you're responding to was when I first installed Legacy 8 and thought I'd do the same for it that I did for Legacy 7 not knowing that I would have problems. Sometime long ago somebody said putting it outside of Program Files would solve some of the problems I was having at the time.

Before Norton, the freebie AV software I used had a check box for disabling protection. That allowed the target software to "come through the door" with no interruption. After successful installation, I just re-enabled protection. Perhaps those who use Avast might explore if that program has a similar feature. My question to you is about your comment that you "don't let the installation put it [Legacy] in the Program Files." I am curious about this, as it is my understanding that by default Legacy installs in the root directory. Does it want to install in Program Files in your case? I've never understood why, and don't know the pros or cons of installing it in one place or the other. I've never questioned it, as I figured the developers had their particular reasons for setting it up that way. But I am somewhat curious.

I've used Norton AV products for years (currently Norton 360) and had no problems with Legacy 7.5 or with the new 8.0. No problems with installation or use. I stay away from the freebie AV programs. Symantec who produces the Norton programs is a reputable company. When I installed Legacy 8 Deluxe this morning, I didn't let the installation put it in Program Files. I put it in the root directory of my C drive like I did with Legacy 7.5. I also have Windows 7's User Account Control turned off which can interfere with a lot of programs.

Just downloaded Legacy 8 and again it went smooth as butter. On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 11:00 AM, John B.

Some of the secondary Windows issues are only appearing with Win 7 and above. john.
