Moderators rridgely Posted June 18, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2005 I would go with 2005 just because it would be the most updated. But look here because Norton 2002 apparently can beinstalled repeatedly without paying for new licenses. Just something to consider. http://forum.CCleaner.com/index.php?showto...233&hl=LEENoble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agumon Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 thanks rridgely... guess norton is not famous afterall... no one wants to use it... or even commending it... the only thing that people will say about norton is that "it sucks", "take up lots of system resources", "look for better alternatives" blah blah blah... guess my friend is not making a right choice to buy antivirus from norton.. --==aGumon==-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted June 18, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2005 Agumon tell your friend about the free microsoft offer for one year free of Computer Associates EZ antivirus. It is very good and it will save him some money. The link is: http://store.ca.com/dr/v2/ec_main.entry25?...5939&CID=190471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjLizard Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I like Avast! (after turning the skins off) Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) is the best product made by the company that makes "Norton" products, and that is because it's not even Symantec's virus engine -- it's Intel's!

It's alright, but I switched to Avast! Home Edition. I personally think it's better. I don't too much care for Norton. I know you said don't suggest others, but really no one is suggesting Norton. You think that would mean something...

Moderators Andavari Posted June 19, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2005 Straight to the point; Norton, McAfee, and PC-cillin install way too much that integrates deep into the system making them very difficult to remove. The only commercial av programs I would buy would if there weren't good free alternatives are BitDefender, eTrust EZ Antivirus, F-Prot, NOD32, Sophos. Out of all the free av programs I think it's a matter of choice, such as; does the user like the GUI, and most importantly is it at the least ICSA Labs Certified at detecting infections. I no longer put too much value in certification for removing an infection from an executible since many modern viruses/malware destroy the executible beyond any point of repair.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 19, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2005 my friend have decided to buy ez Trust antivirus from CA. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Better off saving money for a year and use the free 12 month trial that isn't limited in anyway from Microsoft and Computer Associates available here. That way if your friend doesn't like it, etc., it's a simple matter of choosing another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have used Norton AntiVirus 2003 it sucked, eventually I installed Norton AntiVirus 2005 which sucked even more. Now I use AntiVir from www.free-av.com, it is freeware (free for personal use only), made by a german company, doesnt have any skins, works great.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 25, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2005 Norton may not suck at finding known viruses. The reason I stopped using it back in 2001 was because it never found sucpicious or virus destroyed file's that F-Prot and BitDefender would quickly identify.

res45 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 H'mmm been using Norton AntiVirus and Internet Security for years now never been hacked or had a worm or virus on my computer using it. Wife belongs to a few yahoo groups so we get around 50 or so emails a day plus I have my downloader set to inspect all files with Norton. Works for me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuPL Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well I would suggest: none! Stay away from Norton, cause it's not what it used to be in the old days Very poor piece of software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
