I haven't used Norton GoBack (and the website is short on details), but I'm assuming it's similar to Microsoft's System Restore. If you set a real-time antivirus program to scan only on writes, then resource utilization would probably approach that of GoBack. From another perspective, what happens if a virus decides to overwrite the GoBack file archive? Food for thought, I guess.
Maybe a better solution is to use norton ghost and keep the data on a separate "DATA" partition. Anytime the machine gets infected just restore the ghost image. ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com)
