What's wrong with Norton? I've had it forever and it's great.

it embeds itself in your system and it's a pain to uninstall.

AVG:
"Viruses are OK"
McAfee:
"Virus?"

It's not a pain to uninstall, I was able to uninstall it just as quickly as any other program.

Do a scan with avast and you'll see the malware that norton gave you

where do people get 2k to throw at a gaming rig

so far everyone claiming norton is crap hasn't shown any proof that it is. darkness shown a little bit, but you literally have to download those since they're executables, and it's pretty easy to see what's a bullstuff scam.

Malware can embed itself into other applications you know. I've had a win32 pup gen in cheatengine before.

Thats a pretty stuffty graphics card op, i.suggest you get a nvidia gt210, and spend the extra money  on 16 more gb of ram.

[SpreadsPlague]

do *not* pay 2k for a pc with a 560 in it. that's soooo weak for 2k.

To be future proof as well as general performance. RAM is pretty cheap these days.

Don't buy windows and norton, waste of money
