Yeah yeah...doesn't show the satisfied customers though. You will always have whiners. Type in "[insert whatever here] sucks" and you'll find tons of whiners about something. Not everyone has common sense when it comes to computers. I've seen these some of these people and they shouldn't even have a pc...probably shouldn't breed either.

So again...8 years...not one single problem on either XP or W7.

Now...running 2 different anti virus programs at the same time will surely cause problems. Hard to diagnose someone else's pc without knowing "everything" they have installed and running on it or what was repeatedly installed and uninstalled. And telling someone to uninstall something because you don't like it is not solving their problems either.

And I've yet to find any "free" Norton antivirus....lots of "free downloads" but nothing free.

No...no stock...I just don't jump on bandwagons and tell people to uninstall something because it didn't work for some people. If I did that I'd have to tell people that DX or WindowBlinds doesn't work either since that seemed to not work for some people as well. When it clearly works for others. Just like the whole XP is a bad thing crap when clearly it isn't.

And I actually don't have Norton installed anymore...due to lack of funds right now...but I would use it again since it worked fine...for me.

Black and white TV's, hand-cranked cars and dial telephones weren't "bad" either, just replaced by much better technology.

The whole point is, clearly, there is a software conflict. Just trying to narrow it down to the most likely suspect.( other than user error)

If Norton said to uninstall the AV, then that's what I would do, but I wouldn't reinstall it if DS works with it gone. I would look elsewhere for an AV  program.
