I've been test running a PC, where Norton Internet Security 2005 was previously installed and handled the firewall, email scanning and spam filtering.

Have since removed Norton and installed AVG Free Edition and ZoneAlarm to handle viruses and firewall protection.

Everything has been constantly running faster. Startup, shutdown, everything.

I've just made the same change today on my notebook having SH3 installed on it. Again, everything's noticeably quicker, including SH3 startup and career patrol loading, too.

Good or bad idea? What do you think? :hmm:
