Not to mention, when we had it on my family room computer, it actually would FIND things, but would give me "Unable to remove them".  What the !@#$ is the program for, exactly, if it can't REMOVE the stuff?!

You could pay someone $200 to punch you in the face, and it would be money better spent.

FYI, I do punch people in the face for money.  Just sayin'.

Which is really hilarious because Avast! is everything Norton will never be and its only about 70 a year. Sorry Ciro, but with Norton you got !@#$ed. As far as I'm concerned it is a virus.

Yea I hated Norton, it found about 10 things one time when I had it and didn't delete a single virus.... then, when your subscription expires you get constant pop-up asking if you wanna renew it... I finally uninstalled it and went with Spybot S&D and it is just as good if not better...not to mention FREE lol.

This is going OT but I heard in the latest Norton they've fixed tons of stuff and it's completely rewritten. (or something like that.)


I partly quit SO. I only come online for updates and events. Have a good day. :)

Don't care.  They've already lost my business, and they aren't getting it back.  You want to spend a bunch of money on an anti-virus, spend it on something good, like Kaspersky.

Don't get me wrong, Kaspersky's 2010 version has been frustrating the hell out of me with it's Early-Windows-Vista-like security, but I still can't remember the last time I HAD a virus.  It's a good anti-virus, they just made their newest version overzealous a bit  :-\

Actually, with the new release of Avast 5, the 100% free version is pretty much all that your regular user would ever really need (and then some). If you want some upgraded protection like a fancy firewall and all that then you can pay like $30 or $40 bucks a year. But yeah, I hate to break it to you Ciro but I am not a Norton fan at alllll either =x

Nortan 2008 was perfectly fine for me, but they keep spamming us with renewals and they actually charged a renewal on my dads credit card, when we don't even use Nortan anymore.

I guarantee that all these issues like charging extra, blocking internet, etc.. etc... is all actually written in their EULA.  You know, the End User License Agreement.  Yeah...  That thing everyone sees and no one reads?  I bet they legitimize (I use that term lightly here) all of their stupidity through false reasoning in that document, and we are all the dumb ones for not reading it.  Anyone have it that could go and read it, tell me if it is full of crap?

I use ESET NOD32 and am happy. It's relatively cheap (around 20-30 I believe) and I never hear from it except for occasional updates which are very minimal, and showing as orange in the system tray (and maybe a pop up) so you know you have to renew.

Anyways, I don't really know much about Norton. I believe I used it in the past, but not much at all. We used to use Symantec Anti-Virus at work which was basically the corporate level version of Norton. This used to be awesome and had none of the problem Norton seemed to have had. But somewhat recently they changed it to be more like Norton... so we changed anti-virus.
