If you want Anti-virus and a firewall there are many good free ones out there like Free avast! 4 Home Edition and Sygate Personal Firewall. Other free ones would be AVG 7and Anti-vir but almost all of them offer at least a thirty day free trial. -------------------- **** We use our powers for good, not evil **** When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

Well, I gave up. Returned Norton Internet Security 2005 to the vendor. He asked if it wouldn't work on my OS or if it was defective. I told him that he had hit the nail on the head. The most defective progam I've ever seen. Makes you wonder that a company as well known as Symantec would put something like this on the market, what with all the other alternatives out there. I guess if you don't really care about customer loyalty it doesn't matter.
Thanks to everyone for all the help. Even though I couldn't get this to install, I was glad to know that I'm not alone. Mary -------------------- Dell XPS 933Mhz processor, 256 RAM, Windows98se, Linksys Cable/DSL Router,
