Its not as bloated, BUT... it still puts so many files all over your HD, an uninstall and the "remove Norton tool" still don't get them all. I don't recommend Norton to people unless they are comfortable with it, already have it installed on their current machine, and just want to upgrade to the latest version.

I know a lot of people who don't even run an Antivirus, when I tell them they need one they refuse because they don't want to pay for it. So I tell them to get Avast, it's a hell of a lot better than nothing. In my case on the very rare chance I did get a virus and I couldn't remove it I don't mind reformatting.
True, it is better than AVeraGe, and better than nothing.
