Good point but it isn't just CQ that doesn't like Norton. My gut feeling is that Norton doesn't get along with any software that is CPU intensive. I know for fact (putting on my other hat) that Norton doesn't work well with the ABI software for automated sequencers (373 and 377) either and such software collisions resulted in the loss of the gel image file - somewhat akin to us losing a whole bunch of histograms from single day... MacAfee seems to do OK leading me to think it is something with how Norton works. David ========================== David L.
