I've used Norton for about eleven years but the 2007 version finally really pissed me off. It extended my boot-up by minutes some of it's things would just start up at odd times and use 65% of my 2.2 Ghz processor. I've uninstalled it loosing 6 months on my subscription and have started using Avast. While it free version does not have script blocking I have found out that the danger from it is virtually nil and you wouldn't notice anything if you even had one. Avast found 3 trojans that Norton didn't and it's stopped 2 virus's already. It runs a scan 10 times faster then Norton and there is no drain on resources. I highly recommend dumping Norton and get Avast. I'm really happy with it and it updates itself often. I have a hard time believing something this good is free.
