I just miss the old days when AV's and firewalls hand at least 10 tabs of options and settings under advanced. Now days you install a firewall or AV and you are given if your lucky 10 options you can change.

PallasAthene - thanks for the links. I have just upgraded to Norton 360 v5 version v6 won't be out for roughly another year long after my subscription expires.
What is MSE+ ?I try to avoid risky situations, but with my past I wasn't so much avoiding as running into... But now days I'm happy with my MSE+ MWBytes Pro.
You're welcome, JerometheGiraff
MSE stands for Microsoft Security Essentials The "+" simply stands for "and" in this case
Yes, as you said, Norton 360 version 6 will probably be released in spring 2012. There will be a beta testing forum at the Norton Community Forum a few months before the release of the final and official version if you're interested in beta-testing version 6 ;-)
i believe that when Maximum PC reviewed AV's in the past few months, they dinged Norton for perhaps being geared towards the enthusiast and having too many buttons, options, toggles, etc. Perhaps this would be ideal for you.
Here is the article for reference,

Well, as we've all mentioned before, it's basically a matter of personal opinion and taste
Well, I guess you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Just wanted to say there are configurable and option laiden products out there.
While Norton has earned itself a bad rap years ago, there current gen products and last gen products have been pretty solid. Unfortunately, the bad taste they left in techies mouths years ago hasn't been forgotten.
I was an avid Norton fan when DOS6.22 was the going thing. Symantec bought and ran Norton in to the ground. I mean they hit the wall. I quit using Norton and swore I would never again. Well never say never. After all this time I relented and tried Norton Internet Security 2011. They must have fired all of the programmers and started over. I find it runs smooth, doesn't load my rig down and does the job. A copy of Norton Utilties came with my purchase and it works great. I hate to say it but they have won me back over.
