Note that I am *not* using the consumer-level Symantec AV product. I'm 
using the corportate-only, volume licensed version. And frankly, you 
hardly notice it's there. There seems to be very little performance 
impact - until it's update time.

Symantec is the product we're migrating off. My PC at work has something 
called Trend Micro. (Ever heard of that one? I hadn't.)
