To make it worse.. Yahoo Mail is crashing about 10% of the time I try to download with the "were sorry error". Because loading Norton for each image download overloads the server, I'm guessing…

For the record… I stopped using Norton Antivirus on my PC after it FORMATTED MY HARD DISK - replacing the contents of my drives file allocation table with an old backup of one from a totally different drive! Since then, I've seen otherwise fast computers reduced to a crawl by antivirus software that intercepts everything all the time. It sucks - its so much easier just to not rip off software and click on anything and everything …
