Recently bought a new netbook that came with Norton installed. First thing I noticed was how slow the PC was. I uninstalled Norton & installed Avast instead, and was amazed at how much quicker the computer is now. I was just curious as to whether or not others keep Norton installed & whether they notice run speeds being compromised?
The later versions of Norton (from about 2009 onwards) are very good and have scored highly in all recent independent tests (Norton still has a bad name in some peoples eyes because older versions were dire, but it's really improved over the last few years.)
