Just installed this. My 2003 version was not working properly so I had to buy this one. Hooray for Norton ^_^

I'll never install that #%#*)@%@)(% again. Back in the good ol' days of Midtown Madness 2, Windows Me, and 9GB HDD, It would slow your comp down. So I thought, 'Hey, maybe 2005 don't slow it down anymore!'. Heck no. I reformatted my hard drive, and after installing XP, I downloaded Sygate Personal Firewall Pro and Symantec Corporate Antivirus 9.0 (same company as Norton, but a better quality product with free updates for life). I noticed that games don't lag to all heck now for no apparent reason, even when I have it set to 'Scan Anything Accessed or Modified(scan on create, open, move, copy, run)'. And it doesn't needlessly detect spyware when we've already got loads of progs to do that. It just does viruses. And it does it way better and faster than Norton Systemworks ever did.

Don't believe me? I downloaded a straight virus in a zip from EvilInside, and within 3% of the download Corporate stopped the download, quarantined it, then asked me politely if I'd like to delete it now or attempt to repair the file.

Norton Systemworks, when used over my friends house, was way slower. Went until 80% till norton did anything about it. And after a 2nd trial, it let the whole thing download!

The results speak for themselves
