Norton Antivirus, predated by only by McAfee & several extinct others, has been and will remain one of the two most stable, effective, updated, and complete choices for PC virus protection. I've read multiple snivels about its size, resource consumption, and price. It's big because it needs to be. It needs resources because it does a more in-depth and thorough job than ever before, and is designed for modern systems, not your PII MMX running Windows 98 with 64MB of RAM. And it's expensive because the research, developement, testing, and updates that make it a superior product cost money, which is the same reason it's lesser competitors are, in fact, lesser. Combined with the suite of protections included in Norton Internet Security, it's the best you can buy for a home PC.

As for spin-off comments regarding Windows XP security issues, again I refer to the history of the author-company, the cost of producing a superior product, and a seemingly unknown feature called Windows Update for security complaints as they arise.

If you're too cheap to pay-up for the big boys, or the hardware to run `em, just say so; don't bash them. If they are so bad, explain their sales numbers, (without referring to unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, if possible).
