“Geez, everyone is so anti-Norton.”

Not me. I’ve never had a problem with NAV on any of my PC’s. The only thing I did differently on my editing PC is to turn off the email scanning because I don’t do email from that PC. Otherwise, I don’t bother turning NAV off to edit or render. Resource hog? Which resources? It only takes a noticable bite from my processor time when it’s actually doing a scan, and even then it doesn’t cause anything to “freeze up”.

Norton’s, ah! When Peter Norton had it as Norton Utilites it was a great set of tools. Since Symantec took it over it’s become bloated over the years, it consumes more registry real estate than almost any other antivrus going, it’s slow, doesn’t keep updated often enough and uses more CPU power than most and is a right piece of excrement to uninstall completly. Not that the CPU overhead is such an issue these days with more powerful CPU’s about but that’s no excuse for a poorly designed app, my opinion, when compared to it’smodern counterparts such as AVG, Kaspersky, Computer Associates eTrust etc. Aditionally lately it has suffered some serious security problems which Smantec knew about but didn’t come forward with until security researchers posted warnings about ‘Norton AntiVirus flaw ready for exploitation?’.

From this post you will no doubt discern that I also am no great fan of Norton AV these days.
