I've seen Norton system works totally destroy a pc, several times, it removed protected OS drivers etc, I would never use that product for any reason at any time, though it is nice to see someone have better luck with it than the people I've had to fix their pc's had with their versions.

I'm never clear on where people pick up all this extra junk on their pc's, if you ALWAYS do a custom install of software, and always check to make sure you're not installing stuff into the system tray, and never use IE unless absolutely necessary, how do pc's get messed up like that?

Norton antivirus definitely slows boxes down, I'm going to switch to nod32 as soon as my current subscriptions run out I think, it's supposed to be less intrusive overall, yields a cleaner pc.
