System: Type, speed of processor, RAM, other software installed and system set-up to name but a few, (like I said just my opinion).

Touch wood, I've been using Norton in some form or other since 2000 and NEVER had a single problem. If I sound like a very small minority then I'll except the fact that i've been lucky.

I also use MAS alongside AD-Aware SE personal and again, touch wood, have NEVER had a bug. I'm sure if I can set my system up this way others can as well.

If Norton was THAT bad they would have gone out of business by now!
coments peeps!!

I agree with what your saying, but ive turned away from using Norton, because of what you have mentioned above and also, i dont think it picks up all the viruses either.
