It's a pity medicine isn't as concise on the curing bit.

Yup.

Pity I didn't but any shares in NAV.

Mind you, they're unlikely to drop. Even if there's a massive internet bomardment of viruses, these numbers keep going up. :smile:

I don't even use Norton, and those numbers are often false. They are not always real, since Norton protects you from all the viruses they know off. And they don't know about all the viruses out there.

SOPHOS antivirus protects me from 76759 viruses, trojans, and worms.

but that means absolutely nothing, as an anti-virus company can release cures for 5 variants of a same virus while another will release only 4 and offer as good a protection.

yet, I would not trust my network to Norton.

Ditto here w/ AVG. Even does a nice lockout on the email.

You guys with Norton keep updating. :lol: Eventually your HDDs will be maxed out with updates there'll be no more room for viruses. ROFL!!!
