Norton AntiVirus 2002. Lawrence Lee writes, "I recently purchased Norton AntiVirus 2002 based on a few reviews including one by David Strom's Web Informant newsletter. Coming from an older release of McAfee VirusScan, one very annoying part of the UI is that each failed attempt to repair a virus-infected file results in a popup. So if you get twenty SirCam-infected e-mails, you see twenty pop-up windows and twenty clicks." [lawrence's notebook]
Even worse. All POP3 email retrieval stops while that damn pop-up is there. This extends to MAPI-based applications on the same PC, and there's no way to defeat it. I have a Blackberry and run the "redirector" on my desktop PC. If an infected email arrives, NAV stops all my email processing and nothing can get through to my Blackberry. If I'm on the road for a few days, forget it! No Blackberry email. The previous version didn't have this problem. So much for upgrades.
