This is the real life world in which we live. This is the root of the differences between the philosophies espoused by the academics and the words this forum has heard from some of the people who represent products. Products have to be concerned with being fast (invisible) during the normal course of a day's work. The normal course is one where there are no viruses on the system. When a virus is detected, the big guns get called and they arrive to work in a different environment, where there is known to be a virus. That would imply a different set of tools. The program is an alarm system. You don't house firemen in everyone's homes. Jimmy Kuo cjkuo@ccmail.norton.com Norton AntiVirus Research
