right.

pentium 4 , 2.6ghz 512 aint a bad machine at all so don't worry about the specs. however it is well known that norton does consume large amounts of CPU.

i used to have mcaffee until blueyonder pcguard came out. mcafee is probably better, however it was a week from my renewal date and i really couldn't see any point paying since there was a free service from my isp available.
mcafee was great. the antivirus was fast, the firewall was very secure, and allows you to to configure settings for networks etc... (which pcguard doesn't do)
the price is extremely good, and you can download it from their website.
it is an excellent security suite, and consumes very little CPU. it is quick to load up at startup too.
i have an amd 3000+ with 512ram and it worked perfectly. didn't slow me down. and it didn't decrease download speeds or web browsing speeds either.
it's highly recommended . however if your on blueyonder, get pcguard. its free.
