In my experience Norton products are resource hogs and offer me no advantages compared to freeware solutions. Case closed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's not too surprising, considering that the Windows firewall doesen't even check on outbound traffic - spyware ahoy!

Yep, Norton took over PowerQuest a year or two ago. I prefer Acronis these days, it appears to be as reliable as Partition Magic and handles ext2/3 and ReiserFS as well - comes in handy when preparing a Win/Linux dual boot system.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
