I have the most up to date version of Norton, and frankly, it is the worst
thing I've ever worked with.  I used to use Norton 2006 with some
irritation, but I could use it.  The 2010 version is horrible.  None of it
is accessible, it is slower than anything else I've ever seen, and
constantly interrupts me for the simplest tasks.  The worst part is, I
cannot even reliably adjust it, or even shut it off because the screens to
do so are totally inaccessible to JAWS 9.0.  I am going to try and get my
money back.

I found Norton to be slow and annoying. I stopped using it six or seven
years ago, so it's possible that the program has vastly improved since. I
don't remember the specifics now, but the reason I stopped using it was that
it suddenly needed to be disabled for certain relatively routine tasks, like
defragging and disk clean up. I also remember that some of the features that
needed my occasional attention weren't accessible.

I used McAfee for a while, but stopped when I had more trouble with
accessibility. It also got slower than seemed reasonable.

I'm happy with AVG, but I'll try Microsoft on my laptop. Why not?
