I tried uninstalling, reinstalling - nothing worked. So, I decided to try another AV/Malware/web search protecting app, and disk spinning is now around 10%, when not performing a drive/system scan. Normal, right? I had to jump a few hoops as Norton didn't like this new app, and the new app didn't like Norton being installed either. A tug of war, and I had to intervene.

I finally feel free, and will buy this new app and rid myself of at least 10 years of Norton loyalty. Have you, or someone you know, used Norton and had trouble with it hogging resources?
