Ed,

Great! I love the "prying the hands" imagery.

Intrusive is one word I can think of for what Norton's Enterprise virus system does. Being over forty, there is only one other experience I can think of that is more intrusive.

What do you use/recommend to your customers for enterprise level (cute word for some servers and work stations supporting some corporate business process) virus protection?

Regards,

Jim Smith

>>Just an FYI. I have been testing the latest release of Norton's Enterprise Client. The FPW 2.6 app we test with would not launch from the icon on the desktop. After several phone calls with Norton's Enterprise support they opened a support case but told me not to hold my breath.

Most of our client base at that time was more than happy with the COWS UI for their shipping and fulfillment people (face it, the guy packing up boxes from pick slips isn't the one approving the software budget.) By the time we had people in the warehouse who cared about the shape of the button and whether it winked at them when they dragged their rodent across it, and who controlled the checkbook that paid for the software, VFP was the development tool for the desktop data environment for small projects for me.
