Norton AntiVirus Plus for Mac - feedback

Does anyone know if Norton AntiVirus Plus for Mac is having the same problems as Norton 360 - since the 8.8 release?  I was thinking about removing 360 and trying Plus.  360 has features I never use and I'm wondering if they aren't contributing to all the trouble we're having.

I have never used a VPN because I use a slow DSL connection and don't want to make it slower.  Why do you use a VPN?  Maybe I need to rethink my priorities.

The Plus side of Norton 360 for Mac is the VPN, but the NAV plus is fine as a program.
