I can confirm.
SAV-CE is a completely different codebase from the crap consumer grade stuff that is Norton branded. 10.0.2 is taking 33MB of memory on thix box (I have 2GB), which I don't consider very bad.

I still argue it is among (if not the) best AV scanner available--it just isn't available to the average consumer. Most people (for good reason) hate the Norton consumer stuff, and assume that the corporate stuff is related...but nothing could be further from the truth.

Interestingly, I've heard that SAV-CE10 also is the most effective malware scanner out there--but it runs slower than anything else at this task.

The latest Symantec AntiVirus corporate edition client (10.0.2.2020) takes about 30MB of memory footprint these days. It does however do a much better job than the retail home user version (norton), however it will get more false positives.

Norton is definitely not even close to kaspersky in detection accuracy.

Not to mention that it seems to be more resource heavy. Always hated
the startup time degradations with Norton. Much improved after I
switched to Kaspersky.
