Need something good. Symantec????....never again. I'm in the process of
running a recovery app to reclaim my critical data after Norton missed a
boot sector virus that hosed my system drive on my office machine. Thank God
that this application (called Recover My Files) has found the data on the
hosed drive. I've loaded a clean install of Win XP on a brand new 160G drive
and I think I'll be able to recover what I need off the old one, but I've
had it with Norton. It's bloated and uses lots of system resources and now I
don't trust Norton to catch any virii that might be infesting the files I'm
recovering that will be loaded on to the new system. I can't even get Ghost
to recognize the new drive in order to recover a backup drive image I had
which was relatively recent.........and I don't want to use that drive image
anyway because it probably is infested with bugs.

I'm typing this from my other office machine that is protected by PC-cillin
which seems to work OK. I want to protect this new system in a very serious
way. I don't want to have to deal with this crap again. What do you guys
reccommend?

Thanks,

Deej
