| 494412 | 2006-10-26 02:59:00 | Uuhhmm, if Norton is posing so many issue's and is really so bad why does it rank so highly in magazine reviews (including PCW). I've disabled most of it and it still hobbles my new (2Gb ram, 3800+) system. I'm sure there must have been some investigation into this issue and Symantic - are there any fix's? and can I get by money back as the system is not fit for purpose? Phil.:2cents: |

| 494413 | 2006-10-26 03:11:00 | Because mags tend to review only the big companies products and not all the small and/or obscure ones. | pctek (84) | ||
| 494414 | 2006-10-26 07:00:00 | because they are runing it on a perfect test system. not the sort of system most users have after 6 months of use. when nortons works, it generally works ok. trouble is it tends to break down every 6 months. |

| 494415 | 2006-10-26 07:07:00 | The mags don't usually review performance - they review features & how good they are at catching viruses. If those are the only critera, there is nothing wrong with norton. | Greven (91) | ||
| 494416 | 2006-10-26 21:47:00 | I've heard nothing but bad things about Norton recently, but I've been using it for a while now and I've yet to have a problem. I will probably replace it with something else next year when my subscription expires because there seem to be cheaper alternatives, but I honestly feel confident that I wouldn't experience a meltdown if I were to continue using Norton. | alasta (6652) | ||
| 494417 | 2006-10-26 22:00:00 | Well, if you like it, why not continue? it doesn't suit me, so I don't use it. Very fortunately, there are heaps of choices, so one size doesn't have to fit all. :) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 494418 | 2006-10-26 22:36:00 | Having used Nortons I have found that virus writers tend to take great pleasure in testing their skills against the big guy. I find it amazing that Nortons is say 80 meg in size while NOD32 and Avg do a better job at about 10meg in size. I would highly recommend NOD32. It got rid of viruses and Trojans that Nortons couldn't even have a decent go at. | qwerty (8480) | ||
| 494419 | 2006-10-26 23:30:00 | Here's one for ya. A client SB of only 5 people, didnt realsie their license expired end of May 06. Now trying to renew, Symantec advise it has passed grace period for renewal and has to purchase the product again, even though they never advised client. Guess what, I will NOT be recommending this course of action, symantec for small businesses needs a good kick up the bum, as SB dont have dedicated IT staff to look after their networl. I am very disapointed. Anybody have any other recommendations....F-Secure? |
