I don't bother with Nortons anymore...........I simply run Tech Tool Pro from the CD every so often and have not had any trouble. Same with virus software if I think I need it. TTPro fixes EVERYTHING including telling you if there are software conflicts, with no need to install anything. It also can optimize and check hardware and modem problems too. I wouldn't be without it......but would never install it. To let Nortons or CC or even TTPro run in the background is just asking for trouble IMHO. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
