Internet Security Norton Style

Some people love Norton Internet Security, and why not it's an all-in-one protection system for your computer.  I don't like a hears why.

• It taks up a vast amount RAM and with every new release it gets bigger and ever more complicated.  Which leads to point 2
• It's seems to be very easy to disable bits of or at least bugger it up enough that using your machine becomes painful.  Virus writers always target Norton products.  Norton responds by making it int a larger Hairball, which leads to point 3
• It basically is a Virus, anything that takes over your machine, uses all the RAM and turns machines into snails is normally be classed as a virus. Except this one comes in a nice box and you pay money for it.  Nice huh

Why am I bitching, its because I have to fix machines that have been infected by it. Like some viruses it can be extremely difficult to get rid of.  My advice if you have time and are moderately sane is to try something else, except  Mc Afee, but I wont start going on about that.
