I've been off list for a bit as life is busy.

Supposedly Norton improved the performance of their anti-virus, so I tried
it last year. It was a mistake. I'm back to Nod32. 

Make sure you use the special Norton removal tool. Their software is the
closest thing to a rootkit that is legal.

It is always interesting when people remove the anti-virus and their computer
feels like a young buckaroo again.

I have had issues with Nod32 in the past interfering with subversion for
software version control. I sent a bug report and in about a day, the problem
disappeared with one of their updates.
