Ken,
What products and programs would you use rather than Norton?

Thanks for your assistance and consideration,

I just uninstalled Norton (it takes a of provocation to get me to make a move)
which was taking over my new Inspiron 6400 for up to ten minutes at startup,
unable to open any window, even the task manager, and put in ZoneLabs
firewall and AVG7.5 anti-virus, both free by the way, though you have to
look carefully for the free versions.

Norton uninstalled itself cleanly, without the dregs and remnants I expected,
which I guess is the only positive in the brief and ugly experience with it.
