hurmm...
i think norton protection is quite good from my experience...
the only think i hate is....
it SLOW DOWN the computer...

i only need 1 point the ignore NIS,,,
i'm using mcAfee now....

for those $recycle folder..
from my ponit of view, it's not a virus..
it's maybe a virtual recycle bin or a virus vault...
which all infected file were copy there for quarantine...
it's was made hidden so u couldn't easily access it...
that the point....

my 2 cent..
