They should have rounded up a 1000 pc's at use in the real world already running an AV and having been used for general family use for at least a year, tested them for viruses,performance and stability. Nod32 should have been used as the benchmark for commercial products, and Avast as the benchmark for free products. |

| 797236 | 2009-08-02 07:35:00 | Actually apparently the *latest* Nortons has improved quite a lot. I wanna give it a try on a VM or something one day and try and break it :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

They boast about how light it is, and I do agree with them but light is what it should've been before! Its detection rate is (still) crap. |

| 797238 | 2009-08-02 08:10:00 | "Good' for Nortons is not actually killing the user. Like Lucas, it immeasurably improves any environment by it's absence. And remember, Consumer rated a Thorn as NZ's best TV. (It wasn't, it certainly averaged out as the least cherished.) |
