I've found norton to be a pain in the rear, it chews up a lot of my PC's power which means other programs are effect and run slower, it slows my load up time for my PC drastically, so I unistalled it and now I am using AVG Free..
So I Dislike Norton very much. How about you ? --------------------   |

Yeah, Norton wasn't really all that good to me and I don't look too kindly on anti-virus software that couldn't prevent my computer from breaking down. I also didn't really like the setup and I could hardly ever remember seeing a visible representation that it was running when I had it. For anti-viral software, you need that visible presence and somewhat equal control to know that you're PC/Mac is being protected.

I have the norton system works and I dont have any dislikes whatsoever, You can't rely in only your antivirus to keep you protected, I also have install the eTrust patrol,and the so called ad-aware killers.
But when my norton expired I'm gonna switch to avg or avast, I'm not paying again for an antivirus  -------------------- ____________________________________________________________________________

True, true, we too have to protect our PCs. Great switch though, I've heard good things about AVG. -------------------- Jayè Junior, Producer of Mysteries of Our Lives, Co-founder of Absolute Productions Network
