Thanks for all the information. Yes, I have had my problems with the registry being "crapped" up by Norton so that I could not even load their own new version. On the other hand, the US government, major banks, and corporations use it so it must be doing the job of blocking viruses better than any other "crap-ware". If no one is monitoring Freeware on a daily basis, am I not taking a big chance with it.
Just as an aside -- doesn't this news group have a moderator. A few angry lunatics are allowed to jump in wherever they want to. On all the other news groups that I have visited they are quickly blocked by a moderator.

Your best moderator would be the "KILL FILE" or whatever your particular email/newsreader program calls it. The posters who are obnoxious are usually consistent so they are easy to spot.

Years of experience has taught me to never respond to
'trolls', people who post for the sole purpose of creating
negativity.  One response leads to another, etc. etc.

Again, the KILL FILE is your friend!

Hope this two cents helps . . .
