Please refrain from making comments like this in the future.

Software choice is up to the user. If you don't like certain software, that is fine, but mocking someone for their choice isn't acceptable behavior on this forum.

I don't understand why people still consider Norton to be a bloatware !

We don't, well I don't. Some of us here have either used NIS2011/2012 or the current Beta.

Have you considered using Bufferzone as an alternative?

Other than that nice config.

The AV is more of a personal preference. I know users who love it and I know users who simply hate it. I personally didn't like some feature including the updates.

I didn't like BufferZone. Sandboxie is better. I wish the free version of it had forced program start.

He has MBAM and Spyware Blaster; SAS is not really necessary, it lost its value a while ago.

Before using Spyware Blaster, I had to scan for tracking cookies using Hitman Pro everyday. But now, thanks to Spyware Blaster I can't find a single tracking cookie. I recommend this software to everyone. Spyware Blaster

Resource usage? It only changes your IE/FF and restricted sites settings
