Anti Virus
Anti Virus
(OP)
I recall a few topics talking bout Norton and McAfee anti virus. Does one have more issues with SW over the other, or are both relatively safe?

Maybe they've changed. It won't matter to me, since they've both burned their bridges.
By the way, one reason I'm using Avast is because I can perform a virus scan outside of the Windows environment--which means if a virus/trojan/worm/whatever is found, I can much more likely remove it. Also, it scans everything in real time--so things tend not ever to get into my system (I've never had a system scan with a find--it's always caught on the way in). Plus, it tests smarter than almost any other AV package and is quite reasonable.

RE: Anti Virus
We have used the licensed version of AVG on our server and all workstations for about two years and have never had any problems, even when I unintentionally did a SW install with it running. The only thing to do is to make sure that it's scheduled to do its scans after we've all gone home otherwise it'll slow things to a crawl!

Norton searches for updates daily, when it finds an update, it runs it, then sometimes decides it doesn't want Outlook to work anymore and tell you there are errors with your security.
