Title: A CPU Hog!
Review: This thing eats CPU cycles like nothing I have ever seen before!Back when Norton AntiVirus 2003 was out, Norton was by far the best out there. When 2004 came out, not only did Norton change the number on the package, they also added more bloated features, 2005 was even worse with even more bloated features.My suggestion for Symantec is to get Norton AntiVirus back to what it was supposed to do, protect you against viruses, not everything under the sun.We want a lean, mean, and clean AntiVirus Tool, Norton AntiVirus...sadly isn't that. We shouldn't need a dual-core CPU or half a GB of RAM just to run our AntiVirus software!I have a machine that runs an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with 768 MB of RAM and once ran Norton AntiVirus 2005. When I had it installed, I decided to turn off the AutoProtect one day, instantly my machine really sprang to life. Windows popped up quickly, the Start Menu popped up without even thinking about it!I now have the ZoneAlarm Security Suite. No more Norton for me!
