Me too, I fall into the half that has little of value, and if I did, it certainly would not be on this computer.

I'm with ya roban. Norton did streamline their system in 2009, which continues for the 2010 version. NIS did remove the bloat and it runs smoothly.

It's about time they did. Most people that I know who have used Norton (me included) wasn't very fond of it. They've been around a while, they should have their act together by now.

Norton did have a reputation for being a system hog, but looks like things have changed !

I got in trouble for being a cyber crook now i'm on an FBI watch list.
From my experience it doesn't matter who you are because I like the stuff you have. For example I might have hacked you for the following reasons:
1) your CPU to execute my programs
2) your Hard drive so I dont waste space on mine
3) your data, theres some intresting stuff out there.

Don't worry I don't engage in hacking anymore, I figure if I was stupid enough to get caught... I'm not smart enough to keep doing it.

I bet the commando firewall would keep me out though
