I just got some security program for my computer. Every day I run the scan program. Every
day I get 7 hits and corrections. Is this normal?

1. Need some details to answer intelligently
Name of the software would be really helpful. Especially considering how many scammy fakes there are out there.

3. Oh. Sorry to hear that. Get rid of it. It's crap.
the free version of AVG does a better job.

But to answer your question that sounds like normal behavior for Norton. Because it's crap.

5. another good free program is COMODO
I agree with CBGLutier that Norton Anti-Virus is complete crap, and a memory hog.
