MS actually provides software that does something other than wreck your system. Ain't anywhere near perfect, but it's quite usable for most people. Symantec sells some prety good stuff, but the only thing they sell with the Norton name on it that isn't actively destructive is Norton Ghost (which is a brilliant bit of software and almost makes up for the rest of the Norton products). -- M.
