Since installing Norton 360 on my home pc and laptop web performance on each has drastically reduced. Has anyone else noticed this and what are the recommended alternative products ?

Try free AVG - http://free.avg.com/ - it's fairly lightweight and free, that's anti-virus and Kerio firewall pretty good too. -
Kaspersky. Can't recommend it highly enough. But there again, what do you want / need from an AV product? How much are you willing to spend?Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostIf your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

Used to use AVG but started to notice it slow things up after version 8 update. Have switched to Avast and so far very impressed.Comment

AVG 7.5 was better - some junk they added can be switched off in 8.0, but overall they went Norton bloatware route

Isn't system slowdown with AV always down to software running in memory to check every .EXE for virus activity and every action you perform? The advice always used to be to turn off that functionality and run regular scans if you want to fix performance.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

I installed Norton Internet Security 2008 and my laptops performance just nose dived!
I now use ESET NOD32 AV and it is fantastic. Its extremely fast!!Comment

I don't notice much impact with AVG in normal use, however my PC now takes ages to startup after logging in, has to be told twice to shutdown, and I've seen a couple of application installs really crawl with AVG running.
It was only after having my ebay account hacked a couple of months ago that I got some anti-virus for my PC. I've always been of the opinion that they impact performance so much they cause more problems than they solve, and viruses are very rare if you're sensible.
And I doubt the ebay hack was anything to do with anything on my PC (probably down to me using the same username and password on other sites).Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

AVG is shyte! Use it at your peril. Dont take my word, see comparison here
http://antivirus.about.com/od/antivi...a/freeav_2.htm
With a score of just 30 (!) out of a possible 125, do you really want to trust your pc with that piece of shyte?
You've really got to question the knowledge of people who recommend and use AVG!I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!
