I have Norton SystemWorks 2003 on my winXPsp2 box which ran like sludge with 256mb ram and 40gb hdd about 3/4 full ...upgraded to 1gb ram and 120gb hdd with plennya space and ran like sludge ...uninstalled NAV and put on Avast ...runs like a top (although, the Opera browser seems to linger until Avast is finished dld of the latest signature file)!! ...I sometimes use Norton WinDoctor to look for errors cuz it fixes them without too much follderoll (I suppose) ...otherwise, ghost was a real pain to use with my external 120gb hdd I have for backup ...I simply do it myself from time to time although I did dld a free custom b/u routine that looks gud but didn't use it yet (lazy me)... Is there a gud reason to take off the resta norton ...is anya norton worth anything? Only thing running is Norton Protection that kinda backs up the recycle bin ...otherwise, nothing runs at boot and I use cleansweep (which windows has an equivalent for) and that doktah thingy. I wonder, if I uninstall Norton if it will actually remove itself completely (seems the 2003 version was relatively less problematic than the later iterations per the postings I have read). ...wadda y'all think about that?
