I just recently switched back to Norton AntiVirus. I was having too many conflicts between McAfee VirusScan & McAfee Firewall. I'm not having as many problems w/ Norton AntiVirus and McAfee Firewall, but I think I'm going to find a better Firewall, and as for Symantec's security updates and notifications. I can't agree with you more. Lately they have been right on top of things.
