<VV> Firewalls and Virus Checkers

[Dave Keillor]

Our software customer service people find Norton to be the most troublesome
of the commercial firewall and anit-virus products out there.  AVG is a good
anti-virus and Zone Alarm is a good firewall.  (Both have free versions for
non-commercial uses.)  XP SP2 has a decent firewall, too.

Ah! Now there's an intersting one! Norton hates it, and instructs me to shut

it down all the time. I got so fed up with the messages that I complied, 
thinking that Norton was the better product.
