This is one product I wouldn't care at all about how lite it was!!
It's junk, period!!
Seeing as you have no idea what you're talking about I suggest everyone ignore that.
That's why they've sold and continue to sell millions of copies over the years.
Not saying it's the BEST by any means, but calling it junk is hyperbole at best.
Really? my old (custom) PC and even my mum's Compaq came with Norton and it was a full 12 month subscription. My new machine came with a 3 year subscription to McAfee
If not, Symantec probably hike the price of their crap, and hope stupider idiots catches their bait, and so on ...
The circle of Life, from Symantec's view ...
"Look how leet I am! Norton is teh suxors!!!11"
Fact is, it's a very good, polished product.
NIS 2008 on my system is gobbling a whole 12MB of RAM. CPU is not even 1%.
Install folder is 53MB. Unless you're trying to install it on a floppy drive THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE.
Even the best ones don't grab 100% anyway.
True it can be somewhat of a resource hog, but CPU's are ridiculously fast as it is, RAM is cheap, so the effects on the AVERAGE user (which applies to pretty much none of us here) would be pretty negligable, especially considering all the different functions a package like 360 provides.
So while it surely may not be the best out there, it's a pretty decent product. Calling it crap or junk is simply hyperbole.
I know people who've kept using Norton over the years and I've seen their setups, The newest versions are way faster than they used to be, even on the same aging hardware.
In my own experience with playing around with it versus others I've found it's easier to configure and in some ways more configurable period than some others out there like NOD32. And for the average user, that's not a small issue.
maybe it is now, but back in the 2004 - 2006 versions every release was slower than the last

And? We're talking about Norton 360 in 2008
That's like saying all Apples are terrible computers since the Apple III was lacklustre. Let's stay focused on the NOW people.
Thanks

Can we get a link for the AV comparatives. I'd be interested in seeing the numbers.
