You are talking about Norton internet security ( and any other security
package ) that all tie up the system resources. Ghost is a backup program
and uses very little system resources. It can be set to dynamically back up
the system while you are still using it. It is solid and reliable.

You should really learn what you are talking about before you open your
mouth. Security packages try to cover every aspect of the system running
checks on all files opened and programs started therefore slowing down most
systems that have too many threads running in the background. They can be
tamed by selecting what pieces of them you want to allow to run.

A program, maybe--Ghost, never. Past experience made me decide long ago
that I will never install another Norton product on any computer I own.
At first, it's all "Wow, it's taking care of everything!" But then,
within a few months, it's using over 75% of my computer's processing
power to do nothing but stay on and slow down everything else I try to
do.

I use GHOST with no problems.
*But* I save the Ghost Image on my second hard drive
*not* on C

I also save a copy of the current image on an external drive just to be
safe.
