@Tornado: If you want to see the full exert exploit protection came from third party then go to MBAE however the end does not always justifies the mean which EMET can provide some protection vice versa.
Norton is amazing! 
By far the best security I have ever used, well worth the money

That's true! It's complete, light, has very good signatures, both malware files/urls and one of the better phishing protection there is. And if something goes wrong there is still the SONAR protection or in horrible cases, Norton Power Eraser. It's also my favorite one after trying so much AV's. Great choice!Norton is amazing!
Are there any essential settings I need to change in Norton? The only thing I've changed is 'Boot-Time Protection' to Normal, the default is off.
you can set sonar to agressive , that is what I changed also maybe @frogboy can enlighten us? he is our norton conneseur from down under he is been using Norton for years!

Do you really need crypto prevent installed considering the tools you have installed already?
Unless you are actively looking for infections, chances of getting crypto prevent to shine are minimal.

@Inkurax It doesn't run in real-time just changes settings and policies in Windows meaning there would be no slowdown and just extra protection, impossible to slow me down.

Norton saved me from my first exploit, no notifications from EMET...
Has Symantec optimized their security product? I tried it years ago and it slowed me so much i was forced to uninstall (and it didn't want to get removed, you ***** software)Norton is amazing!
The days that norton slowed down your system are long gone! I do not even notice it on my machine , which is fairly low end. It still runs smooth like hot knife through butter
For the amount of protection it provides, it's pretty light. As Vatos said, it used to be a MAJOR resource hog, hence why I never bothered with it.

I might give it a try, i have a notebook with 8GB RAM/i5 4th gen, i think i should have no problems.. Still waiting for @safe1st test of Norton vs GData if he says yes lol
