RHP,
Well I wish I could say that I have not been warned and heard all the caveats about Norton. The problem is I have been using it for such a long time it is like a family member... hard to kick them out of the house or OS in this case.
Actually I still don't know what happened. ever since the last M$ updates my keyboard and a few other things have been acting a little strange. See - even in my pain I am still cutting "Norton" alack, go figure.
It's ok brother. Regardless what you have or use, s'long as you can back-up ALL your data (and most importantly -- restore it) then it's just about whatever you're most comfortable with.
