Norton pisses me off. It really does just drag your computer down. Everything about it is seems superfluous. At the very least they could do me a favor and allow me to delete the zip files that it downloads for the updates. Those alone take up around 2GBs of space.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

I'm going to have to second this. I believe this is the best free anti-virus software out there as it has always caught potential threats and on occasion fixed a computer once it was subjected to a virus. Of course, the best practice is to be careful with what you do online so you don't have any problems that you would need an anti-virus program for. . . .
