So I finally dump Norton...
 

and i lose an adblocker that actually works, a a popup blocker that functions logically. and 10x more spam makes it's way into my inbox..

last fucking time I buy any gfy suggested software ...
I shoulda know better with all the Firefox (garbage) love that goes on.

good thing i paid for the 3 machine licence too..

on the upside, my windows boots a little faster.

:1orglaugh

Kaspersky works nice

heh you are like the only person I know that is happy with Norton. Norton products fucking suck ass and make your pc run slow as fuck.

i have both Webroot Spysweeper and Trend Micro PC-cillin and both work great. from scanning my incoming email to pop up blockers to spy/adware blocking and removal...they work good.

I've never had any slowness issues on either of the three machines I've got it on (well two now).. on top of that, I've never had a virus on any of them..

I just let the bashing norton posts get to me..

What did you replace Norton with?


I use Norton AV on my main computer and don't have any problems. I did however have to remove Norton Internet Security suite from my neighbors new laptop. It ran noticeably better without it. I put Kaspersky AV on and activated the WindowsXP firewall.

I run Kaspersky firewall on one of my computers, but I never really know how good of a job firewalls are really doing. I just use it for the program permissions.

fyi...

PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 Home Security Pack (3-user license) is what I bought.

and i'm about to put in a refund request.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I did the same thing almost a year ago.. and it's a piece of crap... it's got to be the worst piece of software ever written next to Microcrap... The problem though is that I can't get it completely off my system to put Norton back on... So I'm fucked unless I do a complete wipe. Maybe I should just buy a new computer..

kaspersky pro av with zone alarm firewall and ewidow (mal/spyware) does the job nice

I broke up with Norton years ago.

Is Peter Norton still alive or what

I uninstalled with no problem, and norton is back doing just fine... phew.

I've never had a problem with Norton....:2 cents:

Last time I checked, he's still in Santa Monica. I used to work there back when it was still "Peter Norton Computing, Inc." and his office was right across the hall from me. We'd all come in wearing shorts & tank tops and shit... Real laid back. It got lame after Symantec took over though.
