but on an older PC Norton would make it completely unusable
Not true, for the past 2 years of trying Norton on and off I never experienced slowdowns at all and I have some computers that only run on either 1.5 GB RAM or 2GB of RAM usually the ones I had that had 1.5 GB of RAM had a cheap/old CPU and never affected speeds at all.
Norton has been so light while ESET I did run into slight Memory spikes but they weren't bad. I like both ESET and Norton but out of these two I'll go with Norton because like I said its been really light, From my tests and tests I seen Norton has had a better detection rate.
I'm a big gamer and I gotta find a Light suite but with good detection rates.
So, I think Symantec wins this one.
