Story: Why you should ditch Norton AntiVirus
We use Windows XP 64 Edition, with which Norton (non corporate products) products do not work.
Norton seem not to be concerned about this situation. So we purchased the lastest version of Iolo's System Mechanic. Not only does version 6 not work, but Iolo's stance is it is our fault for buying their program. They state that they do not have any refunds policy. They have no interest in your satutory rights.
Users of Windows XP 64 Edition should consider Avast! Anti-virus, which is free!
