antivirus protection for schmucks.

say what you will about it, norton antivirus works like a charm. i was playing around with zonealarm since formatting on saturday, and although it's technically a much better program, and a heckuva lot more thorough than symantec's horror child could ever be, it hung my computer tighter than ron jeremy's testicles. norton might be a resource hogger, but nothing was as bad as seeing everything lag before my eyes on 256 MBs of RAM. the problem now is that i'm more open to attacks than ever before. zonealarm did a good job, but i suppose that we'd be willing to install whatever cheapo or incompetent antivirus solutions we could find just to give us that feigned sense of reassurance that our desktops are protected without compromising on performance.
