Hi, this is Slipknot's wife and after reading this post I wanted to let you know what I have been up against. This has to do with Norton products!!!
I just built a new computer as nothing I saw around was good enough for me. The new computer is a 2.66g with 1 gig memory and a 120 g hard drive. Runs really quick once I had it up and going.
Once I got it running (problems with that but got that all straightened out), I decided to install the Norton products I had purchased. I was able to get the Norton systemworks, firewall and antispam basically for free after the rebate. It was the 2004 version and it basically sucks.
I had tried to put it on my laptop but the system basically stopped. So I figured that with all the memory in the new computer I would not have a problem. YEAH RIGHT..can you believe I actually got a memory warning?
I ended up deleting all programs as I felt that running all the other programs was necessary
and the computer ran better already.
I found that my network is still screwed up and it messed with my mail so I am glad that I took it out. I ended up downloading AVG antivirus and Zone alarm - both free and excellent.
Just a heads up..Stick with earlier versions of norton..much better.
Bruce just told me not to write a book so I will stop now.
Have a good night..Melissa
