I would not trust Norton if you paid me.. too many bad experiences in the military with it.. but their Ghost product is great. I use AVG Professional myself..

It started by turning off my Norton 360 and then warning me that I may be infected. Offers two choices and either choice will start it to download. The screen looked like Vista screen (rounded and pastel). The text looked unprofessional so I 'x'd out of the window as fast as I could...multiple times until the download aborted. I did not get Norton back on until a reboot. I sent Norton an email last night and am waiting a reply. It was very fast but I did not lose anything (I think). I was very quick on the window closure, thank goodness. Hmmm, this sounds like what happened to me last week and this week.
