A number of experts agree that the *retail* AV version of McAfee, Norton
and Trend Micro has become cumbersome and bloated for the average user and
can play havoc with your PC.

The major criticisms are related to stability and footprint, the most
common problem being slow-downs because of the massive system resources the
applicacions hog. There are products on the market with equal or better
test results than Symantec's products, consuming less resources at a lower
price (*even free ones*).

Why didn't you install SP2 /four/ years ago when it was released?
