I've used Norton Utilities for Mac since version 1.0, and I've had 99.99% flawless results. That one time it messed up, though, made up for the other thousand or 10,000 uses. (We used to run it monthly on 30-some Macs at work, so I have a lot of experience with it.) If you install Norton, immediately turn off anything you can via the Extensions Manager that doesn't prevent the program from working. Watch out if you ever have to boot from their emergency CD, as some versions will try to do things to your possibly munged hard drive *before* trying to fix it. Dumb but true. DiskWarrior doesn't do half of what Norton does, but what it does it does better than anything else. That's my first tool. Norton is my last. As for virus software -- I use a Mac, so every time I install and try an antivirus program, it spends lots of time looking for viruses, never finds anything, makes my computer less stable, wastes my time, and gets removed. I've given up on antivirus software. If I wanted to use it, I suppose I'd also want to buy a Windows PC so it made sense to actually have an antivirus program. :-| Dan the listmom -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
