Ayup. I used Norton briefly back in DOS days. It was a resource hogging 
computer crasher even then. Since, my experience is the vicarious 
variety, fixing other folks' PCs after Norton has (pick a number):
1. Trashed it
2. Slowed it to a crawl
3. Crashed it
4. Prevented longstanding software from running til the patch, if ever
5. Prevented new software from running til the patch, if ever
......etc.
Sadly these days its installed as bloatware on new PC's.

Some lucky folk profess not to have any issues with it. More power to em.
