norton is the the worst AV suite ever. It is extremely restrictive on XP
and
has too many volrnabilities. I hope they are starting over

I'm pleased to see that I am not the only one who dislikes Norton AV.

I was having trouble with automatic update and after jumping
through hoops, doing fixes I knew from experience wouldn't work
they had me uninstall and re-install the program, which also didn't
work (I read later that Symantec knew this was a common problem
with dealership bundled software (I have XP SP2)). After that they
just stopped reponding to my pleas for help.

So I'm with you guys. I've dumped Norton, and until I upgrade to
Vista I'm using PCTools AV, which at least has a real 'uman bean
to talk to.

It remains to be seen whether MS have 'uman beans.
