Hi all,

 From an ISP helldesk point of view, anything made by Norton since 2002
is the biggest source of email and browsing issues that I have seen in a
 long time. Every few weeks, it updates itself and manages to break a
 decent number of pc's.

 It makes a grunty machine run like a 386 and trying to uninstall it
 sometimes ends up causing more issues than when it was installed.


Ditto here. I (foolishly) just installed Norton on my PC laptop, and it now runs slower than any machine I've owned since the 80's. In fact, Norton may as well position itself as a commercial virus, considering what it has done
to my machine ;-(

Thankfully, I only have to use the PC for a couple of programs.

Ta,

Andrew

Personally I cant find a thing wrong with free AVG antivirus and free Zone Alarm... I began using AVG when Norton AntiVirus couldnt remove a low grade virus from a clients machine, they had actually purchased System Works. Ironic no?
It doesn't even slow old (166mhz) machines down. Quite good.
