keep symantec or get AVG/Avast?

"Anything mcafee, or norton is the devil. It hogs so many resources on your machine it isn't even funny."

TOO true. I've got Norton and it's actually caused performance issues, the main one being a LONG startup time if I re-start or power down. The file is HUGE and the app is not terribly user-friendly. When it expires, I'm switching to something else. Norton sucks.

I too use Super Anti-Spyware free version for scanning of my system. Here is a link to their web page.

thanks. just downloaded it. will it be ok to use this in combination with adaware and spybot that i already have?

also: for the moment, got rid of norton, and installed AVG free 7.5, which has been doing a great job on the desktop.

Should work just fine with no problems.
