I fix computers for a living. ANYONE THAT DOES WHAT I DO, AND DOESN'T WORK FOR BEST BUY, would NEVER put NORTON ANYTHING, on a computer.

I also fix computers for a living. I know how norton used to be, and I know just how much McAfee sucks balls and memory! Trend Micro, though, takes the cake for "eat your computer's soul", weighing in at 100-200 MB of memory usage while running. In contrast, Kapersky and Avira run 9-60 MB, and Norton sits near 30-...
