Hello again Meg :)

I wonder if you will ever get back here again. I know it's not easy when
posting from Microsoft Discussions groups!

You will have noticed that Peter Foldes has already made a mistake in
thinking you are using NAV 2010 when you have, quite clearly, advised
that you are using NIS 2010.

Is there a difference? Of course! He should know that, viz:-

Quote:-

"As with previous versions, Symantec's suite offers protection against
viruses, Trojans, rootkits, spyware and malware of all kinds. Also, like
previous versions, it has a firewall, intrusion protection, e-mail
protection and Web protection. It integrates with your browser and
search engine to warn you away from visiting sites that might be malicious."

That was from the article here:-

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9137758/Review_Norton_Internet_Security_2010_checks_your_reputation_

**

Now, on to his advice:

"Uninstall NAV2010 ....."

That is not easy to do when you have it integrated within your Norton™
Internet Security 2010 protection programme!

I suggest that you retain NIS, for which you have paid good money, and
consider advice from others before following the (bad?) advice from Mr
Foldes.

I have added another group so that you may have access to a wider range
of expertise. I am *not* a computer guru, just a user like you! Good
luck with solving your problem!

I'll ask again.

Why ever else would Meg be running a scan?

Maybe you have misplaced your spectacles, so I'll repeat what I said
before:-

"I have added another group so that you may have access to a wider range
of expertise. I am *not* a computer guru, just a user like you!"

Other folk may consider that your recommendation to remove a paid-for
product, which is successfully used by tens of thousands of people
around the world, a somewhat foolish course of action.

You have referred to '...winston' as your friend - yet you seem not to
have dissuaded *him* from using NIS. He's now an MVP. Surely an MVP
wouldn't use a sub-standard product, would they?

I think you may have another, secret, agenda, Mr Foldes.
