After upgrading my home computer to Windows XP (which is well worth doing, by the way), I unfortunately discovered that my trusty old InoculateIT anti-virus software is not Windows XP compatible. Disaster! I needed to find a replacement quickly... I had a quick shop around, and picked up a cheap copy of Norton Antivirus 2002. I've been a big fan of Symantec's Norton products since getting a free copy of Norton Utilities 4 (I think) from Jungle, and I also have friends that use Norton Antivirus and rate it highly. Plus, working in the IT field, I've had experience with several different pieces of anti-virus software, and Norton is the only one I'd ...  Read the complete review

After installation a wizard was run to set up my preferences, eg whether or not to scan ...  Read the complete review

To be honest viruses are over-rated. Occasionally one will crop up in the computer world that becomes high profile by purely inflicting damage in the simplest form. Having worked in computer retail for over four years I can say that you're more likely to get a virus by sharing disks than you are by browsing the internet. Some may disagree. But then it's better to be safe than sorry and now I have a new computer I felt it was necessary to give it some protection of the software kind in order to keep it clean.
