atw: Re: PC protection

I agree..........the Norton Internet Security is incredibly slow and causes 
all kinds of problems.
It is also rather hard to get rid of once it is on your system.   You cant 
just do a simple uninstall.  I got my money back, and got rid of it,  but 
Symantec mucked me around enormously and I really would not recommmend this 
product or their customer/technical support service.
Likewise, I am looking for a suitable firewall that is safe and wont eat up 
resources.
