I stopped using Symantec anything except under protest years ago after they bought and suppressed my favorite AV product. I stopped using Norton Utilities when Symantec bought them out. We have NAV enterprise in the office, but I use an f-Prot based AV at home. I must say, I've never had a virus at home in all the years and computers I've used f-Prot, and their signature updates are sometimes daily. We've had a few slip by NAV in the office and get caught by Outlook! My big complaint about Symantec has always been that their products basically take over the machine. They are not good neighbors with other apps, and that's been true for at least 10 years that I recall.
