Re: AntiVirus

Boy those sound like real facts. Kinda like reading them on the bathroom
wall.
I'll bet they had something else on there pc too. But that wouldn't help
the bashing cause, would it?

And I'll bugger off when I'm damn good and ready sir!

Another example of quoting things you heard somewhere. Maybe it'd be
better to talk about facts and your own experiences.

Fact: Many people who have had problems with the new WGA also had Norton.

My own experience: I learned it on the WU news group where people had
reported this problem.

Now, bugger off.

Did as you suggested and installed WGA quickly and without incident.
Was told the installation was successful and there were no High
Priority Updates avaiable for my pc. So what's your point? I assume you
infer that Norton interferes with this download? Please explain.
Thanks. Stan
Obviously it doesn't. I stand corrected :-)

I thought of that because most of the complaints about that download on
the WU ng are Norton users.

Why should one avoid Norton? I have used it for 7 years and have
never been infected. During that time Norton has stopped viruses and
removed them or quarantined them so I could delete them.
I have heard that their tech support and rebate service leave much to
be desired but I have never dealt with them with such issues. All the
knowledgeable folks I know highly recommend it for its antivirus
capabilities. My two cents for what it's worth. Good luck. Stan
Go to Windows Update and try and download and install the new WGA and
then get back to us.
