Hi Im back - BE CAREFUL
I have been off line for nearly a week following a nasty Trojan taking control of my Laptop. One second NAV said it had detected a trojan and the next my machine shutdown and wouldnt re-boot, not even with the repair disk.

Be warned and keep you AV up to date.

Probably corporate policy, as with Norton you pay for support, so you get an SLA which keeps your manager happy. It doesn't mean it's the best AV though...

Funnily enough our company has changed over completely to AVG-I have been using it for ages on my home machine.
