Also if you need to run Norton to browse the internet and feel secure rather then a lighter product then you shouldn't be (a) on the internet and (b) should definatly not be using Limewire as Norton would be useless as Limewire is basically a backdoor for virii and Trojans

Edit: I'm not saying Norton isn't any good, it is a decent product when configured properly but if you're just going to install Norton and think your completely safe then you are very, very wrong.
I don't use norton, just my relatives seem to
I was just mentioning that if Roto did decide to go the norton and p2p sharing route, Roto would need to get more ram in the laptop.

Friend had a Windows 98 computer with absolutely nothing on it besides an internet connection, browser, a few CD kids games, and then he put Internet security on the computer With 256mb of ram, the startup time went from 30sec or less, to over 5minutes.
