Because once in a while he comes up with a goody or two. My favorite is
the "soaring with the birds" story of a few years ago.

I figure if he ever again posts something worthwhile someone will be sure
to comment on it, and I'll see that. So there is no downside to just
plonking him.

Actually norton pro 2003
is the best ranked virus scanner out there. U do get what u pay for, the

free
ones are fine but the updates are slower.....


Not entirely true.

While Norton is great, there are plenty of other players out there who are
just as good.

AVG from Grisoft is just as good in most cases.
Althought it has not always been there, as of June 2003, on Windows XP, it
is just as good, especially at catching virus' "in the wild", those that no
one yet knows about.

I run it at all of my corporate clients and have for over a year now and no
one has had a virus yet, servers included.

Don't take my word for it, read about it.

Norton 2003 Pro
Right click on the icon and the choices are open disable/enable and configure.
I never have had a problem in all our systems with the email. But it could be
becasue of the eudora which i am not familiar with. All of our clients use
outlook for there email. I think if you were still having problems after
uninstalling and reinstalling norton this is what i would do.
Uninstall norton. Shut down the computer. Go to www.iolo.com and download
system mechanic. You get a 30 day free trial. Its a great program by the way.
Even microsoft endorses it to clean up the registry and for other things. I
would clean up your registery then reboot and then reinstall norton. If u had
a cable modem i would also go to www.pandasoftware.com and run there online
virus scan before reinstalling norton. SInce there are some virus that have
been written to disable norton and once u have them u cant reinstall norton and
get it to work properly.
