I have indeed tried freeware as well. I have AVG on an older laptop, as well as avg antispyware on here, and I have superantispyware on both machines.

Admitedly the older versions of norton where slow, but Norton 360 and 2008 are so much faster!

Not according to the very respected friends of mine who use it but i can't argue with your opinion now can i as i don't use it myself.

Like I said, It's just my opinion and experiences. Although maybe their systems are less powerful?

I have it running on four computers.

1) Custom Intel Q6600, 2GB 800MHZ PC6400 DDR2 RAM, Nvidia 512MB 8600GTS PCI-E Graphics Card

2) Dell Inspiron Notebook 1.4GHZ Celeron M, 512MB DDR PC2700 (I think It's 2700) RAM and 64MB onboard graphics.

3) Dell Dimension 2350 2.4GHZ Pentium 4, 1GB DDR RAM (1x PC2700 and 1x PC2500 (Something like that) and 64MB onboard graphics.

4) Dell Dimension 2400 2.5GHZ Celeron, 768MB PC2700 DDR RAM and 64MB onboard graphics.

Norton is bloatware though and sooner or llater it will kill your machine.
The number of processes runing at once, in Norton is ridiculous.
Certainly the bloatware, that hogs all the resources, will be less apparent in newer higher spec machines, but it's still there.

If you like it, then stay with it, but you are one of the very few folk that I have come across, that actually praise it. As for me, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, unless I didn't like them

I totally agree with Phil and no disrespect to you tom but i have a 1 friend in particular who's specs kill pretty much all your comps combined no joke hes been using/ building comps for more years then i care to remember and he said he'l never use 360 again. But for the rest there specs are pretty much the same as yours.
