Re: Shopping/ virus protection

I've always used Norton, but made the mistake of upgrading last time I
renewed.  The old program would still have downloaded the new definitions
but the new one promised adware protection.  I popped for the extra $, and
now when it comes on I just have to leave the room; it completely takes
over.  I rescheduled it to a different time when my computer would most
likely be on, but that I would be away from it, like 10:15 Thurs pm.
