I had bad experiences with that software...so can try to avoid it as much as I can...

@ home i use CA EZ firewall / Antivurs (free for 1 year with windows update CD). when the trial was ending on this Feb.. i reformatted my pc.. and i reinstalled the software again.. :d....

@ work... I use Trend Micro's Ofice Scan... pretty cool product for Enterprise... but it uses  a lot of resources.... while scanning.. :d

why does everyone think norton is the devil.


Norton's not - Symantec is.....While it was still Norton, it had a halfway chance...
(NDA disclaimer goes here) You outta hear some of the things the testers say on the et forums  about the way Symantec handles their products and the problems.

" - The above in no way reflects any inner knowledge of the workings of Symantec's QA and beta processes.... Yeah, right! - "

Hey firstly its cool to see ToxicMonkey on da forums now, at least we can have a good loada complaining here  ;).
As far as pings go - I hate my ping (yeah you all know the story by now!), and well I'm tryna see what I can do to improve it, being on the other side of the world and stuff. I'm thinking satelite but its costly though.
Im from South Africa if you didn't know by now (where have you been if you didn't know?) and, interesting fact is, our one and only telecommunications company just plain sux to put it lightly. Infact, the company is rated as the world's worst telecoms company! So the odds are stacked against me and satellite is probably the best option (coz it should bypass the telecomms company - not to clued up with this satellite thing).
Oh, and Norton DOES suck! Dunno if y'all heard of McAfee virus scan? Well thats what I use and it rocks!

McAfee is teh roxorz!! :)

Except... when it works. You see, we got it about early-2004 or something and it's been annoying us with CRITICAL UPDATES AVAILABLE ever since late 04. I mean, it expects us to buy a new version. That's rather out of order. I mean, it won't even let us get the latest update on the software we have!!

I had bad experiences with that software...so can try to avoid it as much as I can...
Ditto. When I had installed it, it scanned files VERY slowly, had a pretty complex user "interface" (:P) and WOULDN'T LET MY MODEM (yeah, modem it was back then lol) CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AT ALL! (I mean, not even dial a number. Modem unavailable or something, no modem detected? I have no idea how it managed to mask my modem to my computer (m.m.m. :P) but that software is eeeeeeeveeeel! :(

I took QuakeDuke's suggestion and installed antivir a while back, and it's working great. I can still play quake with the real time scanning on, and it never bothers me with stupid little popups, and it's kept my computer clean so far.

why does everyone think norton is the devil.

Well, Yuna, McAfee is good for me 'coz I get a new copy, every year, for free  ;D (being manager of a computer shop). Norton takes up unnecassary processing power. I've tried everything on the market, and I mean EVERYTHING, and McAfee is way better than anything else, in my opinion.
