FJJP. I did get updates automatically from PC-Cillin but it certainly didn't help.
Norton or McAfee! Here we have our own opinions. As I said I wouldn't let Norton near my machine. So far McAfee is fine but I do think that setup is important. Like most progs if you don't set it right it will crash.
However, I am already in back-up mode and will put most things on CD. However, I discovered a pitfall with that too! If you don't get ALL the files, when you restore it still won't work.
I can also opt for a full system backup to my D drive. Can't see anything that can cause a problem there. But with computers how can you tell?
