It took a while to do this, but I didn't mind, because I knew Norton could do the job. I am considering buying a copy, but wanted to try it out. Imagine my surprise when I learned that after a lengthy scan of all my drives, no virus was found. Then I see that the virus I have is not on the virus list. Then I see that the virus list is dated July 98.
Virus scanners are perishable and have to be updated constantly to cope with new viruses.
Imagine the lady at the demo table at the grocery store handing out samples of last July's eggnog. Well, ma'am, that's because it's a free trial. For fresh product, you need to buy a carton. So think how disposed I am NOW to buy a retail copy of Norton . Now that's a first for this column.
