I have to say anything with Norton on it has to be bad but id say Panda runs a close second. Ive scanned machines that both have called clean and had multiple hits on Mcafee/AVG.

Yes, Panda is a major resource hog, and a bad AV as well.

ive used ghost before but there are much better solutions now. I use PING instead.
