Good point.
Hell, legitimate licensees have enough trouble keeping Live Update
working, and recognizing that a given piece of software is activated!
LOL.

Sandy,
Your mother taught you better than that, didn't she? <grin>
If you currently have no AV protection, download one of the free AV
apps, and then investigate your options:
AVG - Grisoft
(http://www.grisoft.com/doc/Programs/lng/us/tpl/tpl01)
Avast! - ALWIL Software
(http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html)
AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
(http://www.free-av.com/)
All of the above AV apps may be upgraded to a
Professional/Full-Featured AV app for a fee.
Some General Anti-Virus info:

(http://www.claymania.com/safe-hex.html)
In order to switch or even evaluate another AV, you MUST completely
remove NAV. Some info about removing AV apps (particularly NAV):
(http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=5233)
Before you install ANY AV application, make sure that you acquire all
information/tools/utilities that are necessary for its COMPLETE removal.
Ron :)

Well, it's illegal.
But I wouldn't pay for Norton... I wouldn't use it at all.

It's the same program, how can the performance differ?
I suspect you have the standard Windows problem that the built-
in file indexing is trying to do too much. In older Windows it
was handled by a utility called FastFind that you could switch
off. Dunno what handles it in XP (or 2000, come to that).

Indexing service turned off?
Should be auto started.
Look at Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services.
Defragment drives?
Defragment Registry?
Tune Up Utilies 2006 has a good registry cleaner and defragmenter.
Also Ace Utilies.
Any luck?

> s> Hi Group,
are you the first time posting in newsgroups or posting in this newsgroup?
Please configure your newsclient to right quoting-markers ">> " as usual
in usent - see other normal posting behavior. Your quoting markers are
confusing and make postings especially within longer threads harder to
read. THX in advance for your kind understanding. BTW a wish: try bottom
posting instead of TOFU (test over full quoting). THX.
