If you uninstall Norton stuff, might as well remove the Symantec stuff as well.

I tend to use the freely-available anti-viruses like AVG Free, Antivir Personal (BTW, Antivir has a VERY HIGH false-detection rate in my experience -- meaning a LOT of programs are incorrectly detected as viruses, including a number of programs I've written myself), and Avast! Home Edition.

...Also, I've noticed AVG acting up occasionally while browsing &T, not to mention the rare popups. Is that really supposed to be here?

I've never had popups from AVG, nor have I had it misbehave while browsing Totse. Curious.

I'm occasionally getting symantec error messages, though. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Also, I have Sophos on my computer. I don't remember downloading it, but it's always been in the background. Do I need this? I've installed AVG a while ago.
