norton internet security 2010 is a fine bit of software, i know in days gone by norton was a really bad resource hogger but with 2010 it runs 1 service and uses 6mb of ram when idle i wa really surprised as i have used norton in the past and it was awful, seems like symantec have finally listened to their public, norton internet security 2010 really hits the spot,btw been using it for 5 months and nothing malicious has gotten into my system.

we briefly had norton internet security ’05 on our slightly crappy old desktop (poor thing only has 128mb of ram..) and it made it near impossible to use – [i]everything[/i] took about 10 times longer than it did before.

Now uninstalled and it works fine :D
norton = bloat QED

It was meeeeee! Wohoo! :mrgreen:

Wait, was it?

I wounder what inspired this rant, =)

I’ll be getting to replacing it ASAP.

Oops! I guess I totally skipped over that section of the paper. :oops: Sorry – my bad.

Great job testing this stuff btw!

Yes I did…

But to make you happy, I’ll include a lot of screenshots detailing the process when I do the next batch.
