Thinking about buying Norton's AntiVirus

Hi,

Note: I have used NAV (Norton's AntiVirus) 2001 on a Windows 98se
computer(s) in the past.

Over a month ago, I bought a new Dell laptop with Windows XP home edition.
It came with Trend Micro PC-cillin (30 days trial) pre-installed. I am
thinking about buying NAV, assuming it allows me to control (preferences) how
it "behaves" as NAV 2001 did. I don't want NAV always running in the
background. I want to be able to "run" NAV to check folders, etc. when I
want, the same way I did using NAV 2001.

What is your experience with the new version of NAV?

Thanks in advance, Brad

be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.
