    "Do Not Install This"

    by FlaTech on March 20, 2008

    Pros: You'll Learn What Bad Is

    Cons: CPU Cycle Hog and Worse

    Summary: For a good four years, I talked clients into buying Symantec Corporate Antivirus applications. It was for a good reason: they worked well, installed easily, were easy to maintain and they killed bad bugs without killing the host machine.

    Enter Norton 360 v2 which was almost the death of me (and certainly all my computers). While it was sold to be light on resources, it was the biggest hog I've ever installed. ccSvcHost.exe consistently ate up all CPU resources to the point that an Intel P4 with 2Gig RAM couldn't do anything faster than a one-legged turtle with a 1000 lb weight under its one good limb.

    I can not recommend strongly enough that you stay away from this application. Especially if you think that prior experience with Symantec means that this product has to be good, you will be severely disappointed.
