No getting around it with Nortons. however, you might want to take a look at www.grisoft.com and their totally free AVG anti-virus product. Free updates, hueristic scanning, a plugin for OE....a full featured product without a doubt. I have used both Nortons and Macafees products in the past, but have been most satisfied with AVG. It has been my AV of choice for 3+ years now, and I'm yet to find anything better. For more feedback, check out an earlier thread of mine... http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=231734 ...I hope this helps.
