Don&#39;t expect Norton Antivirus to offer 100% protection. Even viruses it supposedly does protect against can sometimes do a &#39;knockout punch&#39; infection which deletes/cripples common antivirus products when it first infects.

Norton AV doesn&#39;t cover every virus either -- at least not the very newest ones... and if you&#39;ve followed how fast new superviruses spread, you&#39;d know the very newest ones are typically the ones causing almost everyone so much trouble.

I didn&#39;t catch if you&#39;ve updated your networking card firmware/drivers.<!--QuoteBegin-Secret Squirrel@6 October 2003 - 19:31

If you&#39;re not uploading a lot of the file to lots of the other downloaders, you are often the first to get reduced then halted download speeds.
