Just upgraded to Norton System Works 2006 with Norton Anti Virus 2006. There is a new interface with the Norton pop up now appearing in the start menu. From the full system scan I did it seems to scan spyware along with the usual Viruses. Also a new interface for scanning virus which I find cool

In the last few months I've used Mcafee Suite 2006 and Norton Antivirus 2006 and AVG Free Edition. I'll have to say that as far as performance is concerned, AVG wins hands down with daily updates, a quick scanning engine (abour thrice as quick as Mcafee on my computer) and it doesn't hog system resources either.

yup, and norton still hogs resources so much that any gamer would stay clear of it.

also, why does norton hogs system resources despite having no increase in performance is a total mystery to me.
