i've always found norton to be bloated..slows comps way down [yes the new 08 is better on memory than its predecessors but i'm still not totally convinced]...whenever i clean a PC of spyware/viruses (as im trained malware remover as you can see from my avatar & sig ) if the user has norton i tell them how bloated it is then wipe it out & put AVG FREE on it..works great on xp & vista..low on RAM & catches ALOT more viruses than norton ever could

Using Symantec Corp 10.2.0276 on my vista laptop, run Symantec on all my computers and never a problem.  Haven't tried any other Virus software since Nortons many years ago and found it to be a pain.................

I found out Nortons quality. I HAD Norton Systemworks 2007 installed. To make it short, I got into trojan trouble. Knew it at the exact moment-should have killed power. You live and learn.

Norton Anti-Virus found 2 trojans but said they were to difficult for it to remove.

I ran Trojan Remover which found 5 trojans and removed them all. So much for the all famous Norton.

I now run CA Internet Security Suite-even though it's firewall is a bit of a resource hog-but also sweep with Trojan Remover, SpyWare Doctor, and Super Anti-SpyWare Pro. I have found that they have individual strengths and weaknesses.

Have you used the Norton tool remover that pulls out the rest of the installation, I got it free when I got Vista and switched to Avant, didn't understand it, so when back to old standby AVG. Found it on www.kitkommando.com.
