Norton had ben on my computer for a couple of years but I didn't renew the subscription back in October. Figger'd I was going to upgrade anyway. Then the virus/worm hit. Adaware, Spybot, EZ Armor, VGA, none found the problem. Xoft found a worm but tried "extortion".

So I went back to the Norton site and downloaded a 15 day trial. It updated itself, scanned and effortlessly removed the problem. And didn't try to extort any money.

Most of us, including me, love to hate the establishment: Microsoft, the State Dep't, Gallo:), but sometimes market dominance occurs for very good reasons.
I'm a Norton customer again.

Before you buy it do check some reviews. I have it running several machines and it's a system hog. If you're not doing intensive stuff it's no big deal. CCAPP runs in the background along with other system resource stealers. I'm probably going to change when my sub runs out.

Super deal! Glad to hear you didn't have to re-install the OS.
