Re: [Thinkpad] T43: Norton Systemworks Basic Edition <--> AVG

Symantec with Norton 360 is a big improvement... where security for the
individual computer is concerned... but the dangers are in what it does to
other software. It will often cause a crisis in a network or organized
office, or multiple computers.

Working well "Most of the Time" is not good enough. It causes major
problems, exceeded only by McAfee in our experience.

As someone else on this forum said, when you have a problem, look to
Symantec and Norton first.

I believe everything happens for a reason.
Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.
