I use Avast and love it!
Un & re install done by Norton utilities Totally transparent to me. Interestingly doing a full system scan afterwards found several occurrences of a Trojan which NIS2009 had missed.

See that link up there? That's the solution. That's how you actually remove Norton from your system. Face it, Norton is awful dreck. And if you value your computer, you will delete it and never look back. And you know, you'll find your system responds a lot better then it does now.
For various reasons I don't have a choice what A/V software I use.

It will be interesting to see if you have the same problems. Since posting it seems to be related to the *SONAR Protection* which you can turn off.

I've not done so yet but I intend to take this up with Symantec, unless Kovid has any ideas.
