Guest helloimtim Posted May 17, 2005 CID Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have seen countless threads about nortons and issues after installing this product. Personally I am just not a fan of either. While I do use ghost 9.0 which in my humble oppinion is the best I have ever tried as far as back up, I have to ask has anyone had any luck with nortons virus and security? I have seen software to help remove nortons. Seems like its just a nasty product that does not want to come off the computer completley.

mavrickz Posted May 17, 2005 CID Share Posted May 17, 2005 I use nortons simply because I received 2full yrs for free, it does its job, but I get tired of its set backs.There is alot of things that just do not like Norton so you have to go around or configure often. :icon_pale: Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/4792-nortons-anti-virus-and-security/#findComment-49244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my experience with Nortons Antivirus has been difficult. Nortons actually has special utilities on its site to get rid of their software if something goes wrong. I just had a 3 day marathon session with an WinME machine that crashed and burned because of Norton AntiVirus. Never install Audible on a WinME, Norton protected machine...

cak46 Posted May 17, 2005 CID Share Posted May 17, 2005 Or better yet, never use Windows ME, period. To paraphrase the comic book store guy from The Simpsons, "Worst operating system ever". But seriously, folks. I've had MANY Norton related problems and finally got rid of it. Yeah....... Worst ever is being a bit lenient I think... I'd rather run Windows for WorkGroups....... :haha: Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/4792-nortons-anti-virus-and-security/#findComment-49271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

falco Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 I've used Norton products for the last 5 years without a problem. Am using Internet Security 2005 right now.

php Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 yea... um... I just worked on a computer the other day... It had Norton Antivirus on it... so I got rid of that and installed Avast... Avast found approximately 130 viruses that Norton couldn't find even after updating...

junkieXL Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 You would think the geniuses at Symantec would get all the bugs fixed after all these years; I've given Norton a fair chance from 'ver. 2.5' all the way to 'Symantec Corporate Enterprise Version' on my server...nothing has changed & have heard great things about this new "Avast" (spelling?) & am going to try it. Norton, you are the weakest link ~! -JxL Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/4792-nortons-anti-virus-and-security/#findComment-50305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
