    when i right click to scan something for viruses, spyware and that kind of thing at the end it will say there were 0 files scanned. is it actually scanning them or just saying it did?

    hahaha... Norton sucks...

    had to let that out..

    anyway, I think that's Norton's way of saying "0 files are infected"

    anyone want to clear this up?

    Nope - it should say '1 file scanned'...

    What version of Norton are you using?

    This is a known issue that Symantec are working on fixing (although it may now have been fixed in Norton Antivirus 2007).

    Don't worry - your files are being scanned and your computer security has not been comprimised.

    For more information, see here:
