Like Frank (cf. support.thunderbird) I have been highly satisfied with
Avast free (in combination with the Comodo firewall) for a couple of
years now: no troubles with Firefox/Thunderbird ever.

> Wow, thanks rebro. Guess I'll stick with McApee.
i tried McAfee years ago for my own use and a few clients, but do to
lack of good support from McApee, i changed back to Norton for my use
and clients.
i know a lot of mozilla users put Norton down, but my ms clients are
still using Norton with great results and no problems of any type.
no viruses or malware.
i started with Norton in early days of msdos and w4wg and learned early
how to set it up. even thru ms nt and ms 2000, it is still working great.
Norton does take understanding to set up, but once there, it is there
and you are safe.
several friends are using vista and win7. i have helped then set up
Norton and they are having excellent results also.
if you would like to try Norton and see, contact me off list and i will
be glad to go over what i found out and how to set up.

peace out.

to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it.
to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
So I installed Linux.

using Netscape Mail (the precursor to TBird, in case you're a
youngster), and swore I'd never touch them again. I've sure they've
cleaned-up their act, but back then, if a suspect email arrived in my
Inbox, Norton wiped out the entire Inbox (not the folder, of course). It
took me a long time to figure out why I had lost all my incoming
messages, and I lost a lot of business as a result. They had their
chance with me, and they blew it.

Things move on, Norton used to be a disaster for most people but now it
has change beyond recognition. I have been using Norton Internet
Security for the past three years and it is very good, does not slow
the computer as in the past or hog resources either. I would certainly
recommend it.

very much so. in fact, 'NIS' is almost like having an iptables firewall.

one of advantages of 'NIS' is that you have ability to scan for programs
that have access to internet.
first thing i do when installing is run scan and then use 'block' to keep
every ms program that has ability to access internet.
by registering with ms to get 'service pack' notices, saves having to
disable disable 'auto update' on programs that have ability to auto
check.
then when a notice is received, updater can be enabled.
improved anti virus/malware set to max level is also great.
there are a lot of features that make it work well, but because i do
not recall them, i can not go into them.
when i sit at an ms system and run setup, it does come right back, and
i can breeze thru it and set things as needed.
in fact, it is so easy now, i have shown key employees how to run it
and they have no trouble. when problems do occur, i can usually give
them help over phone. there have been a few times that i have had to
go 'on site' to make changes, but that rarely happens.
all in all, all Norton users are happy with installations, and not
one has ever complained.
plus, because they use mozilla firefox and thunderbird, they are
completely safe when they go on internet.
as for spam/junk emails, i have taught all how to use thunderbird
filtering to send emails to their associated folders. to date, not
one email has been lost due to Norton or thunderbird.
with Norton merging with Symantec Norton software has continued to
grow and improve with each new release and revision.
and no, io do not have any Norton or Symantec stock. i do wish i had
bought some years ago, ;)

Still a problem for me. My heavy newsgroups use has left me with a
number of files larger than the automatic full scans can handle in one
night, so it's been months since one of my computers completed a
full scan. I'm planning to switch to another antivirus program soon.
Few especially large files, but still about 6,400,000 files total.

system considerably, using 12 to 20% of the cpu when not doing anything.
I ditched it, and the speed change was quite noticeable. No thanks.

Depends on the cpu then, set NIS doing a full scan and it's using 6 to
23%, idle is less than 0.9%
