| Norton Internet Security 2006 Has anyone else installed Norton Internet Security 2006 and had an issue with MS Outlook sending & receiving? I've used Norton products for years and never had an issue, however, I had to use the removal tool available through Symantec's website to even remove NIS 2006. Just curious if anyone else had issues with an Norton products in the past. I had to switch over to a free-based solution (AVG) due to the problems it caused.  | ||||

| Eurgh... Norton. I think the best software they've written is the Norton Removal Tool  I use Avast - it's free, doesn't hog the resources and I've found that it usually picks up more viruses than AVG [maybe the new version has improved this, though]. Norton has been proven to generate false virus reports to make you buy a subscription and isn't that good at detecting viruses. I won't even mention how slow it can make many machines [whoops, I just did]. You're usually much better off with a free solution like Avast or AVG. | ||||
