Well guys, I'm going to end this debate with these words:
Norton AntiVirus is slow on my computer. Period. I'm not saying anything about

Don't have a web interface here it all runs in the background when I do
scan. Mine has a active scan that looks at anything new coming in that way
it cuts down on doing a whole system scan when not needed. You many want to
try Norton corp it does only what you tell it to and no updating yearly stuff.
