Would like to know what the consensus is on Norton anti-virus and FSX. I disable it before I enter FSX but I've read numerous posts that mention norton is a CPU/memory drag even when disabled in the taskbar menu...read a post I believe in the AVSIM hardware section recommending uninstalling/cleaning out all of norton and loading a different AV like AVG etc. One of those necessary evils of simmers/gamers but curious if anyone has seen a performance boost in FSX after uninstalling norton?ThanksRake

Hi Rake,Have had NAV (Premier) for several years and posted a similar question here recently. My NAV came up for renewal and wasn't sure whether i validate spending another

Norton is 'bloatware' in the extremeDitch it and get something with a smaller footprint and which is more effective.I use NOD32 (ESET Software)and have been nothing but impressed.Glenn

Yep, me too - nod32 all the way!duttonhttp://dutton.fsblogger.com/

Me too....Norton is for grandmas with AOL. NOD32 is great.My only complaint with NOD32 is that there is no way to end it's process. But it has very small memory footprint so not a big deal.Matt

I'll just add one more vote to dump Norton and go with NOD32. See www.eset.com .Doug

FYI, NOD32 doesn't work with FSINN.
