This is interesting, because I thought Symantec was the incorruptible AV co.

Have you ever used their product(s)? Given the way they used to slow PCs down to a halt, I didn't/wouldn't trust them to do a halfway-decent job.
Their products haven't been system hogs for a long time now. I used Norton AV on a fairly reedy dual core Celeron (1.8 GHz)with a platter drive and it only slowed that thing down when it was running a scheduled scan.
