I am going to ditch Norton when my subscription runs out next month.

Thanks to all for the suggestions on this thread about Trend Micro and some of the other good ones.

I couldn't figure out why my 'puter slowed down more and more after each Symantec update. I'm a little behind the curve, not being a computer professional--just an ordinary user.

I finally figured out that if I deleted the calendar in Microsoft Works, it would solve a Norton glitch. Just look for wks.cal.exe on your hard drive and get rid of it.

Better yet, get rid of Norton altogether.

I suggest looking in stores at the software...some ambitious manufacturers are capitalizing on Norton's incompetence. I know that I liked the poetic justice of getting a $20 rebate from McAfee by sending them the first page of my Norton manual!
