I am running a scan and have already found 60 viruses even though its only scanned 30 000 files so far. So how come Norton didn't find them? _________________ www.smokedfoodsdirect.co.uk Back to top Leonie2 5 Star Club Joined: 14 Jun 2006 Posts: 3148 Location: West Sussex Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 1:40 pm    Post subject: I had Norton Security Centre a few years ago, absolute rubbish it was and slowed my computer to a standstill. Have had no problems with McAfee since using it. It was mrutty who recommended it to me so thank mrutty, good recommendation.

It came free and preinstalled on this machine, so given that it's so pervasive, it's taken me a while to figure out how to remove it. I've always used Mcaffee in the past, and their after sales support is SUPERB too. _________________ www.smokedfoodsdirect.co.uk Back to top Somerset Lad 2 Star Club Joined: 21 Jun 2006 Posts: 634 Location: Taunton, Somerset Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 8:22 pm    Post subject: I have booted out Norton too am using AVG. free edition at the mo.
