I couldn't wait to get rid of it Homer. It would take upwards of 5 minutes just to turn on and boot my computer.

I got wind of Trend Micro and uninstalled Norton without a second thought and I still had about 9 months left of my subscription.

Someone recommended Trend Micro to me about 5-6 years ago and I have so much faith in them I bought a 3 year subscription this past year. I'm good until 2009 now.

I honestly believe that the only people that support and push Norton are from Symantec or have been given commission to sell that piece of garbage.

I have yet to see any legitimate computer geek actually recommend it.

I use Trend Micro as well and like Homer, recommend it highly. You can get it at Best Buy (look for a sale) and you can install it on up to 3 computers for one price.

It's way better than that clunky, pain-in-the-arse Norton.  :o0

Not to mention Norton is a big time resource hog. ::)

Your welcome. Once you have the trial installed do a complete scan of your pc. This will take approximately one hour depending on how much is on your pc. If you have any questions let me know and I'll try to help.

If you are having trouble using the Trend Micro online scanner you might want to call their support number or you can try their Internet Security Suite package free for 30 days. I suggest you do the 30 day trial and at the end of the trial you can decide if it's not for you. There is no obligation to purchase it.

Here is the link to the program for the 30 day trial.

BTW, I personally use this program and recommend it. I have mine scheduled to do a weekly scan every Friday at noon and never has it identified BH software as being malware.

Well, the problem is that I cannot install the Bonus Check program at all. I really do not want to shut down my anti-virus to run the installation but it looks like that's what has to happen. I guess I will call Cox customer support and see what they say.
