[WEB4LIB] [Fwd: Norton expired - case #33533]

[Jacque King]

Tom,

The Encarta programs will also expire and I have not found any
information that says that Microsoft will continue to support it 
for NT.  I've been told that the programs will still work, we just
won't be able to download any updates.  The same may be true for
Streets & Maps.

We installed our own virus protection (Network Associates) on our Gates
PCs and have had no problems with it.  Updates are simple and they even
have a spanish version for the spanish PCs.  I do believe the folks at
the foundation mentioned that it would expire during the classes--but
I don't think it is "written" anywhere.

Good luck,
