Norton antivirus IS a virus.

Norton antivirus is a virus. Its a social-virus. An infection on peoples minds that leads them to believe without spending lots of money on bloated software suites their system will brought to a standstill. And it works.....they spend lots of money....and their spend the rest of their life waiting for their system to respond becuase it is so bogged down with antvirus and anti spyware 'solutions'.

These packages cause more annoyance and more anger by consuming systems to the point of sheer failure than actual viruses and spyware do.

Antivirus software suites really really slow down computers, i wonder how much power is wasted in processor time by software suites such as Norton system works. And what is the benefit? I havent run antivirus software in years. I have occasionally got a trojan or spyware on my machine but its always my own fault - either downloading something dodgy or letting a someone else using my computer.

These programs are counter-productive and people should be tought how to use a computer without infecting it instead of being sold over-marketed system-hog crap.
