Based on what? Previous experiences? Unless you're still using Norton 2005, I don't think any of these complaints are still valid. I quite dislike unsubstantiated claims. This review pretty much outright refutes every single point raised. I used to frequent sites like av-comparatives and AV review sites because that was my thing, but I eventually fell out of the loop due to loss of interest (primarily due to a realization in regards to computer security) However, I'm still connected enough to know that Symantec has really upped their game in recent versions. It may be better than previous versions, but I don't see a point in spending money on the subscription fee etc when you can get by using free software and common sense.
