Well it is excellent.
The memory consumption is low, performance is the almost the same as
without an AV.
I installed Norton 360 trial to test it out but i came across an issue:
Whenever i access Norton Backup Drive the window closes!
Why?
I setup a small backup to my second drive and as soon as i access it it closes!

yeah i felt the same and and did the same way but...
recently switched back and well.. love it so far and trust me i never thought i would say that again with them.
Mcaffee got me good the last time. ended up screwing 3 Hd's and Mb's of mine with a auto update from them. Still going after them about it and they are buying me a unit because of it that could not be fixed. i will NEVER use them again.
i switched at that time to windows live one care and it was ok "i thought" at the time. until i ran 2010 of this and it picked up 10 things that live one care didnt/wouldnt.
I love the new 2010 system so far. Great features and very very lightweight.
All thought mcafee has also went and followed there footsteps and has a liveupdate type of feature now as well plus more lightweight but.. never again with them for me. Never no matter what.
lmao..
thats a good one. hahaha
Norton lost the plot about 8 years ago. Mainly by becoming the biggest piece of bloatware after windows itself.
If they happen to have started getting their house in order and reducing the machine-killing capability of their software that is great news.
However the fact remains they have been caught paying Virus writers to write viruses in the past and the current comparatives still show the virus detection rate is low and the firewall weak compared to other products.
I'll give them a little more time before even contemplating an install. And will still advise people not to use it. Hopefully they will continue their upward trend which I recognise and applaud - after all, we all have better security the more good players there are in the market.

ps It might have caught a Trojan but it doesn't yet have the facility to pop up a warning when it missed one - which it's not bad at doing either.

How and why will any anti virus give you a pop up saying, "Oh! I'm sorry I missed a trojan". How funny!
