Norton IS a virus!!!


So is McAfee
I just switched to Norton. I see no difference although Norton found 2
infections McAfee didn't in data I have had for years.


I got fed up with them all so switched everything to M$ Security
Essentials.


Yep. I make an icon on the desktop to manually run MS Malicious
software Removal Tool (MRT). I runs once a month automatically in the
background. If I suspect something I do a manual run, plus MSE. Two
different programs - both free.

A link for the icon (Win 7)

C:\Windows\System32\MRT.exe

Likely different in 64 bit systems...
