      So am I. Right now I use Norton Systemworks 2003. I never get viruses, but systemworks keeps windows in line. You can defragment your hard drive, scan for viruses, detect and fix registry errors.. bah too many features to even list. I really like it.

        NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2004!! Saved my computer. It's the best out there as far as I'm concerned.

              Mcaffe does the same thing to me. It grows if i leave it on, one time it got to 400,000k of my memory so i turn it off. It won't let us delete it, but we use norton anti-virus. I was at a site the other day, and it downloaded a trojan onto my computer(thought i was dl'ng something else) and it caught it, quaranteened it, and deleted it.

                  norton sucks at updating their definitions.

                      norton 2k4 wouldn't get rid of or detect w32.ronoper.wrm.

                      mcafee did, guess which one I'm now using....

                        McAfee user here!

                        Never had a virus since I installed it.

                        *knocks wood real quick*

                        I have never noticed it slowing down my system though. That is a new one on me.

                          Umm...they have liveupdate. It updates about every couple days. *shrugs*

                          Also, you can quarentine then send them a virus that you have but norton does not have a fix for. I did this, and they SENT ME A FIX the very next day. It was actually less than 24 hours time. Can't ask for much more than that!

                            how about an online virus scanner, with definitions updated throughout the day, and it doesn't cost a dime.
