Hello Carey,

I have luckily found a 60 day guarantee on the Symantec
website. I think I'm goint to print it and mail them
their CD and get my money back!

I would just like to know how well Panda detects viruses.
I have read on a few sites that it misses a few!?! I have
also found good reviews of the product...so I have some
mixed feelings about it. What do you think? I also think
that McAfee might not be much better. I havn't read
anything good about it so far. So, Panda might be my last
option...I'll also give the demo a try.

Thanks in advance

Fred
