I don't use Norton nor Symantec/Norton. There system hogs. I'm running Microsoft AV at home and have never had a problem. It takes few resources and never bothers me, except when it finds something. Then it pops up a toast notification, cleans up the issue, then goes away.
>Yep. I'd seen McAfee take up a lot of system resources -- and often more than what Norton usually did. However, I've never run into situation where McAfee let something through it shouldn't have, while I'd seen a lot of stuff get by Norton that it probably should've blocked. In the cases where Norton did eventually discover the malware, it often couldn't remove it (not sure why, but it had trouble accessing the system restore data -- something that most ofher antivirus programs do w/o problems).
