I will venture into realm of "not minding my own business." Most computers (recent vintage) allow you to set/change time, month, etc. I do so by clicking onto START, CONTROL PANEL, DATE AND TIME. This takes you (me) to your (my) calendar and clock; then, set/change year, month, day, time, including "zone" time (PST. EST, etc). Also, some software allows an option to choose pre-setting automatic change when daylight savings starts/stops, and leap year. Note that when e-mail is forwarded, the original and succeeding forwards will retain their own forwarding date, and they will not change. As to Norton. I have used for years and have found Norton quality to exceed most virus protection software for "us small-time users" as compared to the "big-time pro user" software protection. (At a much less cost.). I cannot understand Norton changing your time. Some virus protection software will place time screened and certified "clean" prior to sending/forwarding, at the bottom of the transmitted e-mail. I keep my virus protection up-dated by using Norton's "Live Up-Date" almost daily. Actually, you can keep your original Anti Virus Protection indefinitely by paying the annual fee. However, all this does is keep your original version up-to-date, and you do not get the benefit of "new stuff." For example, Norton 2005 added much more in the worm protection area. Hope I have not up-set anyone!!

There is a reason for this... I buy Norton Anti-virus for my computer, to keep my computer protected. BUT it expires 365 days after you install it, so I was going out every year and buying a new one to install. And I have found that when I buy the new one and install it as the other expires, for some reason it doesn't "take" (If for example, Norton was to expire tomorrow, and I go out and buy a new one and install it, it says that Norton will expire in one day. So, I just blew $30+ and my computer is no longer protected) but I have found that if, for example, Norton expires tomorrow, then I can set my computer clock back a year, and still be "safe" from viruses. Then NEXT year when it expires Norton WILL work on my computer. Don't have a clue as to why that is. Aren't computers wonderful? So, every other year I buy Norton, and the other year I have to "live in the past". I am sorry for the inconveniences, but I don't know of another way to do it so that my computer is virus protected. (Someone once mentioned that I could buy it on line...but using a credit card on line is not 100% safe~I have a story about that too~I went on line to a "very secure site" and spent about $20. (This was the ONLY time this credit card was ever used) Then about 2-3 months later I got a bill in the mail saying that I was in Paris and used the credit card 3 times to buy books, a surf board and another couple items. ) Wow, Paris! Which was kind of interesting, since I have never even been close to an ocean, let alone fly over one. The "good thing" was that when these items were purchased, the surf board was purchased on our anniversary. :-) I dont know if they ever caught the surfing-bookreader, but I do know that the credit card company fixed the problem. So, I no longer trust any website~even if they are "very secure") Gotta love computers! Any ideas how I can keep Norton and my date correct?
