Same old, same old

..."The ever-bloated and expensive Norton Internet Security suite is a good example; it'll bring a system to its knees with the load it puts on the client. 7 years ago it was fresh and good, now it's grown into an expensive lardy monstrosity."...

As always people love to bash the big guys and base their ill-informed opinions on previous experiences and software they installed years years ago - have you actually tried the latest 2009 Norton AV or Internet Security products? 99% of the reviews I see are praising it for being virtually unnoticeable and taking up next to no resources and, lo and behold, its running on my machine and I dont even know its there most of the time.
