I had Norton packaged with my lap top. I very quickly dumped that and got McAfee instead.

Upgrading software
Hello again chaps (incl. Lady Muck - newest regular)
,
As you might of guessed, I've just ordered a new PC (avoiding Dell and going with Vantage from Overclockers.co.uk - very nice people...) and am reviewing all of my software.
Now I've noticed from the Outlook question that Norton is giving grief and so I'm looking at dumping the AV bit and using F-Secure instead.
The question is: is it still worth keeping Norton System Works? Are these utility/hygene programs more trouble than they're worth or is there a good one I should look at?
All suggestions gratefully received...Tags: None
