My thoughts as well. Norton Corporate works OK. Norton home is another
story -
resource hog. McAffee subtle problems, AVG light resource usage for
contrained systems.
Scan with MultiAV - trend, sophos, mcafee, kaspersky, symantec  when
hunting the bad guys. I use Linux for myself.  Get tired of all the
windows security problems.
