Symantec’s range of anti-malware products has constantly been losing popularity due to its excessive load on the system with some users going as far as calling Norton Antivirus itself as a virus. But now with its 2009 range of products, Symantec seeks to win back some of its long lost customers.

It is absolutely mandatory for a Windows user to install some kind of anti-malware on his computer. Its true that antivirus is generally memory intensive but if you are not using any kind of antivirus on an internet connected computer or a computer frequently accessing external usb drives, then you are asking for trouble. Traditionally the antivirus field has been dominated by the likes of Symantec’s Norton Antivirus and McAfee Antivirus. But of late these two giants have been losing market share to ESET NOD32, Kaspersky, BitDefender, AVG, Avast, etc. Should you stay with Norton & McAfee or is it time to move on?
