Get Norton AV. Thats about the only one I have ever used. Norton had a problem with its email scan. If you ran the auto configure email scan, it would add a character to the end of my username. Therefore, I could not recieve any emails. Kept getting Incorrect User Name. Try to manually configure it. If that dont work, wait for the next update/patch.

Or get Norton AV

McAfee has to be one of the worst. Good Luck getting it off your system.

Be prepared to reformat.

Take a look at the 'Computer Security' Forum for detailed info on AV progs.
