Stay away from Norton; it's bloated, ot will slow down your system and is
not worth the money.
To remove Norton, go to their website, download the Uninstall Tool and rid
your system from this monster.
Then try AOL Active Virus Shield (FREE)
http://www.activevirusshield.com/ant...eav/index.adp?
(Opt for NOT downloading the toolbar)

you'll be glad you did, good luck

And I'd recommend that everyone stay away from ANYTHING having to do with
AOL in addition to keeping away from Norton products.

I like -- and use -- AVG Free AntiVirus.

Obviously, you are very misguided but it would be beneficial if you'd
elaborate...

Hi Kayman,

Well, it's been my experience and that of many other posters here that the
AOL software in all its various versions since AOL 2 (or whatever number it
began at) contains lots and lots of bloat.

It's also felt that once anyone installed AOL in order to use the AOL User
Interface and any of its features -- even if AOL wasn't the person's ISP --
that it was nearly impossible to remove ALL traces of the AOL-related
software if the user decided to uninstall. There were always bits and pieces
of the AOL-related installation hanging around and attached to certain
processes.
