So, I would be intreseted in some of your system specs.
I have AMD 64 3400+ (2.4GHz)
1024Mb RAM
I am aware that it may be more than some, I have NEVER in all my time had to "Quarantine" my PC for a "Virus" attack.... If I'm really lucky then.....I'm really lucky and I'll thank my lucky stars.
P.S. I have both NSW 2005 and NISP 2004.... no I DON'T work for Symantec!!!

Hi piquet41
I recently stopped using NIS 2005 after using Symantec for 5 years since 2000 I have used most of their products (AV, NPF, Systemworks, Utilities, CleanSweep, Ghost, PC Anywhere, CrashGuard, Partition Magic
*)
(*since they have taken over PowerQuest), When I said I got sick of it's resource hogging I meant when I did a virus scan it used an awful lot of CPU & Memory.
I also had the same situation as Wayne A, when Norton didn't find viruses and PC-Cillin Housecall's online scan did.
I now use BitDefender 8.0 Professional
* which is similar to NPF
(*AV, Firewall, Anti-Spam) which doesn't seem as hogging of resources and unlike Norton it doesn't require activation.
I have AMD XP3200+ (2.2GHz)
1024Mb PC3200 Dual Channel DDR RAM
P.S. I have:
Norton Antivirus 2005 Corporate Edition
Norton Antivirus 2005 Pro
Norton Internet Security 2005
Norton Systemworks 2005
Norton Ghost 2005
Partition Magic 2005.... and no I DON'T work for Symantec either.
