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.

What he said again. There's better stuff out there.
