I do read all posts in a thread I participate in so I knew who said what.

I would agree that Microsoft should have explained how to use System Restore
better. In the majority of cases before the changes to the third party
security software I suspect it worked in the majority of cases. However the
changes Norton made to their software created problems for the millions of
users using Norton software. Blame Norton not Microsoft.

Do you recommend Norton software to your clients?



It's not how to use SR, it needs to work better and more reliably,
probably self-diagnosing and self-healing, so when it's called on in a
moments notice, it can perform the task.

I stopped recommending NAV back in 2002, although the corporate edition
for servers and networks works well. After everything I have read
recently about NAV, it appears Symantec may have corrected the issues
that drove users away for years. But it's almost too late IMO.

I recommend and install Antivir for individual clients.
