Okay - Ad-aware ISN'T ad-supported now. I don't think.

Kings of the Hill come and go. Remember when the name McAfee used to mean something good?

But you will have to pay some sort of penance for saying James Brown is Dead.

Not really, no. But I remember when the name Norton meant quality.

Exactly. Back in my days of TAG bulletin boards, McAfee was the name in anti-virus.

I remember when Norton was Utilites and Windows was laughed at.

Well... the later is still mostly true.

I remember the Norton guy coming in to my computer and checking my platters with a f'ing stethoscope. Boy he always seemed to clean up my 'puter back then. Oh yeah, and he didn't run unless I asked him to

What problems does it have? I would like to know what I am getting into before I get the new one.
