They're adequate for security, but they take up way too much RAM.

Symantec is called 'The Black Hole'. They buy up all the good programs and nothing good comes out. Now you have to pay an annual fee to use their software. The only programs i would be interested in would be Partition Magic and Norton's Ghost. But I am not going to pay to put it on another computer.

Ok, they have very good Utilities you can use. about consuming your PC's Ram and CPU, well you don't need to run them all the time.(when you are not busy do a system check), and try to update them weekly.

I would never pay for that kind of antivirus software, there are lots of free alternatives for free.
AVG anti virus for example doesn't take up alot of ram and is great for protecting your computer.
They also offer free updates and ant spyware software.
