Ok, I decidedly dislike Norton now, after, when uninstalled by a non-suspecting Pastor, decided to disable DHCP ... which took me about 3 1/2 hours to figure out why in the world the network wasn't working.

What antivirus program would be good? I'd rather stay away from Norton and McAfee now, and use one that gives antivirus protection, not tries to take control of everything.

Namaste paulewog,

thank you for the post.

typically, it's due to how they acutally work (filter driver) and the OS's memory manager. Depending on your OS, you will see a vast difference in the actual performance of the anti virus software on your machine.

I read your other post also about Norton taking over your computer. I use Norton, but I have some of the bells and whistles disabled. I changed to Norton from McAfee because I couldn't turn the bells and whistles off on McAfee. I have a comfortable configuration for Norton now and have used it for over 2 years with no problems at all. I have the Norton System Works version, but I have all of the utilities disabled from automatic use and only use them when I want to.

Go to System Info and get a list of your starting programs to see which programs and components load at startup. You can selectively disable what you don't want to start automatically. I hope this helps some.

In Christ.
