Nice Or Nasty Norton

[Tedster]

NORTON AV standard used to be good a long time ago. In the past 4 years it has turned to crap. The only good thing Norton makes is Norton utilities and Norton corporate. Their firewall and regular AV sucks. It is full of bloatware.

Hey spike

What makes a good router? I have this link system thing here but it didn't come with any firewall that I know of. BTW AVG AV seems to be pretty good 'specially since its free :bounce: and it works.

:approve: So what if it isn't the best? NAV is still better than having no anti-virus protection at all, even if it is
resouce hungry and you have to manually delete some nasties. :zzz: (How lazy are we becoming?)

You speak too soon.

Software that doesn't do its job, is worse than no software at all. Especially if your talking about software that is unnecessary when paired with an educated user and good security practices. Why open yourself up to vulnerabilities and performance degradation for no benefit?

ahh, the symantec guys said sygate pf was 'overlapping' with thier technology. they don't want to admit that it was better than NIS and available for free. they want more people to have to buy a firewall (conveniently offered by symantec) program. i never liked big corporations, and this is why.

i guess the company execs decided thier wallets weren't fat enough...
