We are not alone!-----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Michael Hipp Sent: 19 November 2004 19:06 I thought I was the only one with that opinion of McNorton.

If you simply must run AV, try something more civil like AVG. It at least as the virtue of mostly staying out of the way.
That is indeed what I almost always recommend to victims^Wusers^Wvictims of Norton's bugware, and I can't praise it highly enough. Small, simple, unintrusive and effective.
Oh, and just to be absolutely clear: it's not just "Not-on" AV, it's absolutely *everything* Norton: their internet security package, their anti-spam stuff, their pc-health-monitoring stuff: the entire suite should be despised with deep prejudice.
I regularly get thanked by ex-Norton-sufferers, whose machines I have removed it from and given them something decent like the AVG+ZA combination, and they say things like "Wow, my machine only takes a fraction of the time to startup it used to and everything it does is so much faster and smoother running...."
