This should be a quick, but funny post:
According to Slashdot (and other sources), Norton protects against the Spybot worm by disconnecting IRC (Internet Relay Chat) sessions when someone types "startkeylogger", which is overreacting (just a bit). It is always good to know that your security software is working, but this is overboard. If you are looking for an alternative, I suggest AVG or Avast combined with Zonealarm firewall. On Linux (and other similar OSes) I use clamAV, which seems to work (but I haven't had a virus to try it on in a long time).
Remember, At least for Windows, You should defiantly have a virus scanner (as well as some other tools), even if you have to put up with some minor problems.
Oh well, back to my homework ;-(
