Apparently Norton's is actually quite snappy compared to some of the older dog-slow versions.
Personally I wont run Crap - BUT I see it almost daily in Customers PC. Is Norton any good--YES ---BUT only at making technicians Money in cleaning out PC's.


Last week - Customers PC, Norton Internet Security 2009 - all up to date.

it was disabled and not working because of infections that got in and stuffed it. Norton said the PC was clean.

With Norton Removed,Nod32 installed - removed 7 trojans instantly on startup, and 14 more nasties during the scan. Ran antimalware - various programs - removing a total of 87.

Today - at customers House, removed Norton IE 2009,( pc a LOT faster) - installed nod- instantly removed 3 infections, and found at least another 6 while it was running, going back later to finish the job as it was going to take a few hours to run.

So id Norton any good - as I said, only at making money for techs as its fails a LOT - McAfee is about the same

Norton has (my opinion) POOR spyware/malware detection.
Virus detection rather average(should be much better), updates for latest virii can be slow to be included in sig updates.


Ive had to remove the latest Nortons (360 & 2009 etc) off several PC's due the same old issues (ie: slowing down PC, total block of internet or network/printer/remote etc etc etc)
Norton can also leave a bit of a mess (you need their removal tool)

To quote a PCMAG tech (on their webcast) "I would never install a product that I cant remove"
