ya know, the coolest part is that with Norton, if you watch the local comnputer store they often offer upgrades for like $10-$20 after mail-in rebate, upgrade rebate, etc...I bought Antivirus version 2 at full price, and since then I don't think I have ever paid over $10 for any Norton app since...

Hello guys!!

What are your experiences about having Norton anitivirus in a DAW machine??

I have the 2002 version but I haven't installed yet because I'am afraid that something wrong could happen.
Do you think is safe?? Do you have any tips??
Thanks for your time

It has worked fine for me, I just don't have it running all the time, I don't have it in the background, I open it and run a system scan every now and then, but not full time, real time protection...that would dog the system down.

I used to keep it running all the time, but like dB said, it slowed the system down a bit. Otherwise, I love it.

norton is awfull. if you read up on it you'll find that it actually changes the attribute of certain files and if it get's corrupted or uninstalled improperly you're in a world of hurt... especially if it's your music machine. i use avg from grisoft.com. it provides free lifetime upgrades and right now it's FREE!
