> Most of the major problems I have run into in recent years come from Symantec.

Back in the early 80's, Peter Norton was my hero -- his Utilities saved the day more times than I can count. When Norton sold the Norton name and product line to Symantec, it went straight into the crapper and became just another turd circling the drain.

Back in the late 80's, McAfee was a good package. After John McAfee sold the McAfee name and product line to Network Associates, it went straight into the crapper and followed Norton.

Do we see a pattern here? :-)

I’ve used Norton Utilities since the late 90s, and now Symantec since they bought out Norton, and have never had any kind of a problem. Norton 360’s saved my 2009 HP Compaq 6000 Pro Microtower many times.
