Norton may have had some good releases, but the newest version would have to be awfully bad to get that many negative reviews. One of the points I was making is that you can get good antivirus for free.
There are too many people (on these lists and on forums) saying that AVG works really well to say that it's just because it's free. It's one of the best antivirus out there. I only mentioned Avast because of the extremely high ratings. If it's crap, people tend to say so. Go to download.com and look up some programs. The user ratings are listed on the results pages. Kinda like ebay, very easy to navigate. -- Best regards, Bil Green 2001 TV VCR Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 760-934-2001 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, January 31, 2004, 6:04:50 AM, you wrote: TTE> Bil: TTE> Anytime a Virus Program is "FREE", of course it will get more TTE> votes then something you have to pay for.
