		<description>I've really come to dislike Symantec products.  Norton was great when Peter Norton ran the company a LONG time ago.  I had some issues with Norton Anti-virus just over a year ago - and a friend of a friend (who's a Network Admin type) strongly recommened PC-Cillin.  

The User Interface is much less slick than Norton - but it's a snap to install and un-install (cant say that about Norton - the uninstalling at least) and it doesn't seem to interfere with other software as much as Symantec products.

Since I've been recommending it to friends and family - I've found many cases where it detected problems Norton didn't - and fixed problems Norton could detect and couldn't fix.  

For example, my brother-in-law got a particularly nasty spyware that hijacked IE browser to a search page - and struggled hard to get rid of it - using all the usual Spyware tools.  Eventually I gave up - but he also wanted me to install PC-Cillin per my recommendation as his Norton subscription was about to expire.

So I installed PC-Cillin and part of the virus/malware scan on install - it detected the browser problem and fixed it.  If I had installed PC-Cillin first - it would have saved me several hours...

You can believe me (or not!) But I am no way affiliated with the company that makes it - I'm just a customer (I am a software development consultant)...

PS - I really enjoy your blog</description>
