Well, I'm not saying Norton is bad. Both of them do their jobs well enough. Thing is, Norton for some time was a huge resource hog, and as of late, McAfee is the glutton. eTrust however is designed to be very resource friendly, mainly due to it's primary target audience, business servers and such, where resource hogging is immediatly noticed and can cause some major problems.

Fortunatly, they are very prompt in fixing such memory leaks.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
