Hi

For Newbie Coder - sorry I missed your post and thanks for your advice. I
did try permitting winword.exe full access in NIS Firewall but that didn't
stop the error messages. I have since used the Symantec online chat to
resolve the problem which required me to go to NIS Auto Protect and under
Miscellaneous I had to uncheck the box "turn on scanning of Microsoft
Products". This doesn't apparently leave these products unprotected.

For the others that responded
I have used Norton products ever since I bought my first PC and have never
found any problems with their software. I did research other alternatives
but didn't find one that didn't have problems of one sort or another for many
users. I think the biggest problem with any anti-virus/firewall product is
for a lay person to understand their workings to an extent that they can
tailor them to their specific needs without relying on the default settings -
these do not always do the business in some cases.

Your last sentence is emotional and not fact. If you follow these newsgroups
with any regularity you'll find literally thousands of users having problems
with Norton.

EricG,

Nicely said

I have used Norton products Since Norton Antivirus 5, 2000, 2001 then moved to
corporate versions & never once had a problem with it. Neither have anyone I
know just a few people in the newsgroup with their pyramid reading

If anyone has the money then I would recommend SAVCE over the Home Products

As for poprivet - enough said :)
