Anyone here use the free Norton Security Suite for Comcast users? My ESET expired..so i switched over...I can't tell what to make of it. I'm not sure if it's good, bad, or decent. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with it? I do like free...but I don't like having a slowed down PC.

See AV-TEST - The Independent IT-Security Institute: Jan/Feb 2012 for a test that also measures the average slow-down of the computer in daily use. -
I am using the Comcast Norton suite. It's quite good, but sometimes the after idling, the idle scan process gets stuck at a high CPU usage (more than 50%). I have the backup and PC tune up options disabled.
The only way to end the process is to restart your system. I had increased my idle wait time to 30 minutes for now. -
Thanks guys. I will keep it and do some of the setting tweaks coolguy mentioned.

My biggest beef with norton is that it takes decision making out - it will continually quarantine and delete files that it thinks are suspicious even when I told it not to (several times). Unsure if it has become remarkably better in 2012 iteration, but that sort of loss of control was huge for me.
But its a great AV+firewall, can't go much better.
