Default Re: OT: What Should I Do?

AT, I've used Norton since I've had my computer, My last version was 2002 and I used the online prescription. However, as the yrs went by, I found that most of the 2002 upgrades were not all that encampusing in regards to various definitions and such. So I didn't renew and instead bought 2005. However, what I did find was that after installing 2005, I had problems running scan disk and defrag. Friend of mine stated had same problem after installing it. So I had to go to Safe Mode to run scan disk and to defrag. so If you do go with 2005 and have that problem, the only way I found to get around it was to use Safe Mode for scan disk and defrag. In addition I also use Adware 6.0 and SpyBot as well as Norton, but I've heard Adware is not updating like it used to, now whether that is true or not I don't know, I still use it along with SpyBot, I always run all 3 when cking my comp system. I also use Kerio for my Firewall and so far I've not had any problems. norton does have firewall but I turned it off and just use Kerio
