As with Microsoft OneCare, I wouldn't install or use beta Antivirus or Firewall. However, I hope the resource-hogging nature of Norton Antivirus is changed in this 2006 version.

Looks like another memory hog. Seems to have things poping up all over the place telling you some random information and seems like it wants to monitor anything and everything! Add that to the fact they dont seem to want to give out beta keys for the program it seems a kind of pointless download.
Having used it it seems secure enough and seems to do its job really well it just seems to want to do too many jobs and take up all ur CPU and eat away at your RAM.

hmm two comments in a row calling it resource hog and memory hog --

i've used NIS since v2000 and have never had a problem with it consuming memory or slowing my system down. 2005 was esp. good.

i did load the beta on my laptop and was kind of iffy on this version however -- didn't like the new "norton status" thing and there was no decent way to turn that off. this may finally be the year that i stray from it.

also in onecare beta. it has some cathing up to do but it really isn't seeming too bad. once it's closer to it's final version i'd be willing to be it will be a worthy replacement.

Don't forget that most beta releases also contain debugging code which can slow things down.

Debugging code isn't the case here. Symantec has been providing overloaded, slow A/V apps for a long time now and I don't believe it's changed. I'm beginning to call their apps lame apps.
