Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback I am not as big a Norton fan as I used to be, but I got this phone number from their support website without too much trouble, doh. I am considering switching to ZoneAlarm - but only because of the famous Norton system slowdowns.

Talkback For single computer or small network use, I still recommend it. As someone who gets called out to small businesses to solve IT problems I keep at least one copy of NAV in the car in case the customer has not got any anti-virus software.

Talkback Also, it detects virues the big guys like Norton and Mcafee can't. I recommend Solo Antivirus, especially if you're on dialup or have an older pc. It's a very small file ,light on resources, inexpensive,regular updates, and doesn't slow your pc down .
