Norton is a memory hogger, Plus its pain in the a**. You would be better off getting NOD32 or AVG Antivirus instead. But if you want to renew your Norton then do it if you want but that's not my choice.

So, which one? +rep to good responses
Thanks
If it works for you keep doing what your doing.

Yes, even AVG is better than Norton. I wish more people would realize that Norton and McAfee are pure crap now.

odds are if he is asking on this forum that his computer has more than enough power to run Norton.
Plus norton 360 is not just for a firwall and antivirus

Thanks for your responses, I think I'll upgrade to Norton 360 V2. I really wish people on this site would stop flaming Norton. It works for me (and I have tried nearly all of them) Get over it.
Thanks again for the intelligent responses

If you really want a norton/symantec protection... go buy a corporate version of norton.

Symantec Antivirus 10... while it may be hefty and pretty expensive, it is worth it. No more subscriptions, renewals, etc. Updates whenever you like, up to 24 times a day, really no limit at all.

Tons of more features, and what not.

I use Avast personally though.

AVG alone uses about 600MBs....

Dam guys..he clearly asks for no one to tell him to change from norton to anything else as he has been a long time user and it obviously works for him, as it does with many other people, but may not work so well for others. Yes we all know there are better AV out there but each to their own..lets not flame Norton..
