>I've been using Norton antivirus for two years and have
had absolutely no problems with it through Millennium or
XP. Cool thing about Norton/Symantech is they keep you
updated and have a huge knowledge base. I don't use Norton
Internet Security because I felt is was too0 intrusive and
cumbersome...beside XP has a pretty decent firewall built
in. I also use SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, AdAware and
SpyBot (all freeware) to keep the uglies out in the first
place. The web is a dangerous place and getting worse
every year...your really do need reliable protection of
some sort.
