simple, get and install the memory resident version (tsr or vxd -
depending on whether you're using windows or not)...
of course you realize it won't be able to do anything with compressed
archives... i'm not sure norton has the capability to open compressed
archives on it's own... for those you'll need some sort of shell like
thdpro or you could decompress the files manually and then scan them..
this is a concern since most of the things you will download off the
internet will probably be compressed...
... press ctrl-alt-del to continue...
