Ice Remember you get what you pay for. Norton had a team of antivirus engineers prior to acquiring IBM's. I think the stand alone program is $29 and if you purchase Norton Suite (with utilities) its $59 total. It runs in the background but you need at least 128 meg to work ok (I'm assuming WIN 98 operating system). WIN2000 is a different program (which I don't use). They have the best program integration with its other products and windows (or at least they did two years ago and as I've upgraded I've had no problems).

Earlier today I downloaded an update to my McAfee Virus Scan and scanned the entire Dell computer, and it didn't find any viruses. Just to be thorough I bought a copy of Norton Anti-Virus and I couldn't install it because of McAfee Virus Scan. I tried to uninstall McAfee Virus Scan. It doesn't have an uninstaller; Windows won't uninstall it; McAfee Uninstaller won't uninstall it; and Ultra Winclean won't uninstall it. So I deleted it using Destroy-It and just tried installing Norton and it won't install because it says I already have an anti-virus program. Grrrrrrrrr. I was just reading about new versions of Windows - they have made Internet Explorer an integral part of the program that can't be removed. Same with several other programs like their Media Player. Grrrrrrrr.
