I'm currently using Norton Antivirus on this PC, but I am going to switch back to McAfee because the version of NA I have (2004) has issues installing under Service Pack 2. That combined with the fact it slows my PC down massively, and it's debatable how much protection it gives.

Also, my experience with Norton firewall (which I don't use) is that it can randomly lock your internet connection with no apparent (or logged anyway) reason.


Anyway, my worst experience of Norton, with the old Norton Utilities (which used to be brilliant - sigh) was with Norton Utils under 95. It totally f**k*d up my second hard drive. In fact, so badly, that my computer BIOS would not detect it anymore.
