I have used Norton's Suites for several years and kept upgrading----then Norton seemed to get bloated and started slowing my system (WinME).... About 5 months ago, I installed Vcom's SystemSuite 5.0 and I can say it uses a lot less resources ... It comes with Trend PC anti-virus and has a fairly decent firewall, user friendly interface....From my experience with this application, I highly recommend it. I personally like it much better than the newest Norton Suites.
