Symantec Norton AV is cr@p so you get what you pay for. I've seen it progress over the years and it has many uninstall and software compatiblity problems (ie. it doesn't work well with others especially other companies that sell AV or security apps...this is quite intentionally by design.) Also it is a resource hog from heck as with other programs Symantec makes. An exception to the rule is Norton Ghost which is a powerful useful and fully funtional program (but Acronis is probably even better from what i've read from real people using it) of higher standards than there others which tend to suffer code bloat but reach the masses of average joe's everywhere do to rather user friendly straight forward interface/GUI which had idiots with no knowledge of the workings of a PC. The same holds true for AOL ... I mean AOH3LL the browser is a useless hunk of cr@p with broken functionality which is a mere shell over the top of IE but yet totally unstable and broken (try opening a PDF file in it for example...though it suffers your whole security ,OS and resources even more LOL.) Again my point being is is similar in popularity but why simply because it is targeted towards idiots and spoon fed to people like cr@ck through easy friendly happy go lucky interface with big fat cutsie icons and of course the other thing they have in common is the they spend more money in PR/ads/marketing than the others in their industries and spend less on research and development. But hey these same comnpanies could be selling you a nice REAL looking Rolex watch for 20 bucks! ;-) "There is a s*cker born every minute." - (falsely attributed to) P.T. Barnum"
