Re: norton 360 help

I'd be amazed if Norton didn't have a real-time component, but it seems to me that there SHOULD be a right-click menu option for on-demand scanning as well.

I knew NAV wasn't rated as well as it used to be but this is just plain sloppy. Get it off your system and buy something else.
