I've heard of them, but never to the extent of anyone saying that they were good or bad.

I use CA's eTrust. It's lightweight and cheap. I have been very satisfied with it! The deciding factor for me is that CA updates it virus definitions every day as opposed to Symantec which only updates it live update definitions once a week (unless there is a sever outbreak). Symantec does have a daily update of its intelligent updater but that must be applied manually.

Hi all, I'm looking for opinions here. Got a message from my Norton Antivirus 2000 this morning that my subscription for updates was about to expire and I needed to renew. OK, no big deal, let's to it right now..... so I click the Renew Now button thing and it comes up and tells me that NAV 2000 has been DISCONTINUED and I have to upgrade to 2005 version. I recall hearing people indicate that they had issues with NAV 2005 so I backed out and did not continue - plus they want $39.95 to upgrade. I know I have seen it in stores for less than that. I've been a faithfull NAV user for many years. I have Norton Internet Securiity 2004 on another machine which includes the NAV 2004 - and while I have come to HATE the Norton Firewall, the 2004 Antivirus hasn't caused me any grief. I don't use that machind for E-Mail though. The machine that is expiring is my main e-mail machine and so I do need as good of protection as I can get. The most recent machine I bought - a Notebook from Dell - uses McAfee. That's just what it came with. So maybe Dell has changed over from Norton to McAffee on their new machines? So, please post your stories of horror or success with NAV 2005 - or other versions or even other companies software because I will need to be making a purchase soon and I'm not sure what direction to go. -- Gary Kjos garykjos at gmail.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com This electronic transmission is strictly confidential to TNCO, Inc. and intended solely for the addressee.
