Once things get screwed up Norton can be a real pain to fix as it
leaves tracks all over the computer.

I've used Norton for ten years without a problem on my personal and company
machines. I've repaired a number of manchines that had Norton removal
issues - almost all could be fixed by a reinstall/uninstall.

I would almost rather go naked than run McAfee on a machine. It can be
horrible to remove all traces of this application and can be buggy as hell.

In a previous post, somebody commented that x AV found a virus that y AV
missed. In many cases, this appears to be the case, but something else is
going on.

In some cases, an AV program can alert on a file that has been fixed by
another AV program, as AV programs have different definition profiles and
different schemes for removing a virus.

In other cases, an AV program can alert to the def files or log files of
another AV program.
