What, Symantec paid you?
Stop
posting NIS/Symantec propaganda. It installs more than 6 services
which are always running, around 3 useless processes (like NOPDB,
Norton Speed Disk. Why is it running when you are not de-fragging?)
and 3 required processes all named cc*.exe. Worse still, opening
the main Norton window is laggy as your machine is trying to run
another process (NMain.exe). Therefore, Norton is a memory
hog. No, this bug isn't fixed in NIS/NSW 2006. Tons of
memory leaks should keep people like you happy. 
NIS2006 does not follow firewall rules. Nor does it actually
detect changes made to the files already in the firewall rules, so
you can have your EXE hijacked/overwritten and NIS allows it to go
to the Internet.
There are also many incidents where people do not wish to pay
yearly for some crap update. Most antivirii have more than 1 year,
some a couple of years or even infinite. If Symantec still try to
force customers into paying and give this kind of crap, not only
hackers determined to break through this limitation (I saw one
crack that enabled your LiveUpdate to think your Update service
expires at 2060) and tech-savvy customers will keep away. I am one
of them.

This post may seem overly harsh, but I just want the world to know
everything does not only revolve around Symantec and McAfee.
