Michael ... you've seen some of the posts in this NG, right ?
PEBCAK adds to the general "incompatibility" of Symantec products for
the Home User if you catch my drift.

BTW, I have a copy of System Works 2000 that Symantec gave me that's
been lying around since 1999 if you want it.

I already knew this Mow. I glad you put it in print. Nice to see
"political correctness" hasn't taken over everything and everyone.

Got ya by 1 year. I still have my original Systemworks 1998 with the box.

Michael,

I've dealt with Norton a lot at work. My experience is that it is somewhat
unreliable, even though nine out of ten computers won't have a problem.

I've never caught a glimpse of any particular pattern to the issues we've had.

Harry.

In my years using Norton it always caught any nasties to come down the net.
My only argument with it was the bloat. That was eliminated when I got this
Dell XPS. It's a shame it effects some systems for no reason. Now
CrapAfee, otoh, has to be worst AV suite I've ever encountered. When
Communistcast gave it to their subscribers I put it on my laptop. It was
about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
