I wouldn't touch Norton A/V with a stick. Too many cases of "Does not play well with others", and harder to remove once you've decided it's a problem rather than a cure than a fair bit of what it's supposed to protect against.
I am bemused about how two A/V products from the same vendor should be so different in quality.

Missed the PilotBob comment earlier....that's kinda what I thought as well - frying pan into fire - but this is the free version supplied by Comcast so I've gone along for now. It's already popped up several annoying notices and added tool bars to my Outlook and browsers! as well as sticking it's nose in on my email scanner I've been using for a couple of years and is working fine....
