Yes Norton finally has listened to its customers and its 2009 Internet Security is actually quite good. Symantec also "achitected" it with a very small resource footprint.

Its definitely a very simplified product that manages itself for the most part. It rarely asks for user input and it runs its processes during idle periods. When you walk away you simply get a little reminder that it had been scanning in the background and your computer is free of threats. If the firewall happens to detect anything it only tells you it resolved or prevented something and it quietly goes back to silence. Its a lean, clean, mostly silent product that takes care of itself.

the million dollar question(s) are can you un-install it or can you just install what you need like just av(i personally don't need all the other garbage that they bundle with it)

I still have my reservations using a Norton product however. I have personally had several nightmare end results, and know several people who have as well. It will be a long time before I consider them again...

Everyone has an opinion on av software based on a handful of viruses they might have encountered personally. One thing that comes in handy when really looking at a solution is getting a review of the big picture. I like the test results from (or similar solutions) which point me in the right direction on a lot of the larger AV solutions.
