    Default Norton 360?

    What are your opinions on the program? I have been using it for about 6 months and I have not had an issue. Should I keep it in the long run or switch it up?

    Is norton a resource hog anymore? Because when i had it would slow down my Pc. So i uninstalled it and my Pc was fast again.

    Pre-2009 Norton suites have been quite the system hogs, but for 2009 symantic has made significant improvements on performance AND security. Here's a quote from a review from PC Mag, click here for the full review
    Most users have a love-hate relationship with their security software. They love the protection from online and other threats, but they hate the way the software drags down their daily activities. This past spring, Symantec Senior Vice President Rowan Trollope detailed Symantec's all-out effort to reduce the Norton suite's impact on performance. And, what do you know—it worked! Norton Internet Security 2009 ($69.99 direct for three licenses) affects performance less than any suite I've tested.
    Duff, Symantic seems to have their act together with their new offerings and since you already have norton 360, upgrading/renewing costs for you will probably be lower than switching costs. I'd stay with norton for the time being.

    They use to run so heavy on systems but they have stepped up their game. To me they are number 1 with 2009 product line, so stay with them
