I appreciate the info! Since I already have Norton Security subscription
for the next year and it includes AV protection, I will probably stick with
it a least for awhile. My PC is really fast so the slight slowdown is not
important to me right now. I would appreciate some help in which way to go
to set it up properly--what to do first? I have an Owner account setup now
by Circuit City. I have installed updates from there. I don't know if I
should use the Norton Account Manager or Windows Account Manager. Do I
setup my password for Windows Account before assigning Norton Parental
Control Accounts? Do I setup other Windows Accounts before assigning Norton
accounts to them if I chose Windows Account Manager? If someone using
Norton Internet Security could just help me get it setup properly I would be
very grateful. Since I haven't selected an account manager in Norton yet I
am afraid that this is going to cause problems--I did not realize that I
needed to do that until doing some reading but became a little confused
about the order of things.
Does Norton Internet Security have a news group? I have been unable to find
one.
