RE: [OT] Antivirus software

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the other hand I (in my unpaid PC support role for family and friends)
have had nothing but trouble with Norton other the years, anti-virus,
firewall, spam, you name it. Plus, in my opinion, it has a massive
footprint
and uses system resources by the bucket load.

As usual, YMMV...

Norton is definitely the way to go. We use it on many machines and nary a
problem!
