I don't trust anything by Norton.


Norton may be trustworthy. I say that in spite of your feelings
because for my friends who use it, they do not suffer any attacks.
However, they do suffer from its huge resource drain and my friends'
most consistent complaint is how SLOW their system is.

Norton sucks the air out of performance.

Myself, I use Comodo for its firewall (and turn off its virus
detection); and I use AVG (free) for virus detection. I also use
Process Explorer (a very elaborate Task Manager) to look at the system
usage. Even as I write this, my system has 96-98% CPU capacity left
as it should. Any AVG process barely demands more than a quarter
percent CPU cycles.
