So, I have an Intel Centrino Dual Core Processor running with 2gig of RAM.
The laptop is pretty quick so would it be worth getting rid of Norton 2008 for Avast and Zone alarm...?
(The Norton is the one that came already on the Laptop, three months free trial but I have another laptop here running Norton that I used to the key from that to activate it. (say you can run the product on theee machines).)
What do you think?
Depends. Some users have no problems with Norton, some like it, it has good detection rates. You might be one of those.(Just so happens, I'm not.) If so, might as well use up at least the time you've paid for. If not, there are plenty of good alternatives.
Have to admit I use Norton 08, and I have no issues with it. It just sits there using a whole 0% of my CPU and even with a full scan going it still uses only 2% of CPU and less than 10Mb of memory (9-thousand-and-something kb). I got it because it had the best review score in various reviews, simple as that. You hardly notice it's there, and you don't have to "train" it like you do with ZA. Is a lot better than it used to be, that's one thing I will say is a definite.
But, as they say, each to their own.
