I was infected with an backdoor rootkit. Norton saved my ass.

Norton has a really bad reputation because most people that have used it remember it from the days it basically raped your Microsoft ME's 256mb of RAM and a processor that was today's equivalent of a small Asian child with an abacus.

Today, it is vastly improved and receives almost universally positive reviews.

It eats up 1 gig of my 3 gigs of ram. But it gets the job done. Once that rootkit was gone. Most of my ram was freed up and it all went to the antivirus.

Microsoft Security Essentials.
Just saved some of you some money.

When I still used Norton (Around a year ago) it bothered me 24/7, and interrupted my games like crazy.

It hogs my RAM and runs scans at the worst times when I'm playing TF2 or CS:S.

Then again, that was a year ago. Who knows.

I love Avast! though.

I've used Norton AV for a while now and I've never had any issues or viruses.
