This is the best policy when using any preferred anti-virus; not just to spot missed viruses but also to eliminate 'false-positives'
Personally I use Kaspersky v5 Personal and Symantec's online once a month.

Just as a matter of interest RP, have you had many occasions when your 'second opinion' scan has highlighted a problem Norton has mssed?

OK can anyone recommend a virus scanner that is good but more importantly REALLY low on resource. Norton has far to much graphical crap that slows down the comp. not to mention the mess.

Thanks,
