I use System Mechanic, is that the same?

But the new Norton A/V is better than most when utilizing resources....the old ones were atrocious. I agree %100 about McAfee...what the hell is wrong with that company? I simply do not like Norton because it has almost no personal controls or features available on it and it sometimes allows Trojans on that are harmless, but still lock up the customers computer. It regularly leaves cookies alone which slows down a computer over time, and when I identified a new virus there was no way I could contact anyone....which brings up the final point...customer support ie talking to someone is impossible and their support interface is pathetic.
