3. My desktop: 183,300 files. Norton AV: 44 Minutes.
YMMV.

8. Oh yeah. As the trite and tired old saying goes...
been there, done that. But what else can you do? And I think McAffee is better than Norton. None of them are instantaneous.

Just something you gotta live with.

20. They flip-flop.
Really! they do. :)

In the beginning there was Norton. And It Was Good.

And then came McAfee, in the days of the DOS, and lightness grew upon the land. And It Was Better.

And now Norton has kicked McAfee's ass and things are as they were.

Norton's currently on top; this could change at any time.

Dunno PC-Cillin.

23. Someone needs to come up with a sort of lightening bolt action virus
scan that just goes right to the damn problem areas. Instead of tying up the whole mess for an hour or more. Because you can't just let the damn thing get rid of stuff but itself or your program to kill spam will be toast. Anyway mine would. I have to actually monitor this thing when I scan.

14. Eh, you're using McAfee...that's the 1st problem
Get with some real anti-virus software. Check out PC Cillin.

There's a free scanner at:
