Solve : Why rag Norton?? |
|
Answer» Not sure if this should be posted here or in Off Topic: There is a reason NORTON is known as the Norton virus, and there is an entire FAQ article dedicated to its removal. No offense, Calum... I was just wondering why there is such a dislike for Norton products here. I use them all the time and see no issues...other than the fact they are a resource hog. With the right amount of RAM, this is no longer an issue.I got Norton. It's easy to use and very effective. I dunno why people don't like it...Norton is certainly better than nothing, but in my experience (as well as the experience of many others), its success in detecting and removing malware has been somewhat subpar. I've seen a significantly higher success rate with free programs like AVG. AVG isn't perfect, of course, but it does the job just as well (if not better) for a much more reasonable price. Besides, I'm not fond of anything that makes it so difficult for you to remove it...just like a virus (which is where I believe the term comes from). Of course, it's all simply a matter of opinion. Oh, and I see you've beaten my highscore at Simon... You do REALIZE this won't be tolerated, right?Quote Oh, and I see you've beaten my highscore at Simon... You do realize this won't be tolerated, right? Uh-oh...Personally, I hated Norton when I used it. It really did slow the old PC down (I say old, it's more than adequate for XP - Sempron 2400+, 512Mb RAM). It also did not uninstall correctly, and there are still odd traces popping up over 18 months later. I also found that there were several viruses on that computer which Norton had failed to detect. Just my personal experience, but I found it to be one of the worst programs I've ever used. That keeps me from recommending it to anybody else. Oh, and no offence taken. But the comment quoted was in response to advice to buy Norton to get RID of one Trojan, which I thought was pretty poor when free software COULD do the job.Quote But the comment quoted was in response to advice to buy Norton to get rid of one Trojan, which I thought was pretty poor when free software could do the job. Point taken... and a good point I might add.Steve this is off topic but,I like the Personal Text you added to your signature. Robert "Treat others the way you'd like to be treated..."I've actually had more problem with McAfee than with Norton. But then, I've been using Norton almost ever since Ken Norton wrote the the original utilities. That was long before SYMANTEC bought them out.Glad you mentioned Ken Norton.Remember The 'Ali''virus? Norton didn't have a cure for that. Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. --->No wonder he changed his name.I have got by fine so far, with AVG. It's a great program and pretty cheap to be so free. Never used Norton so,I can't comment on it. Great to have you back Saviour. We can sure use your expertise.I hate Norton. I used to use it, but after having to reformat and reinstall my system like 3 times I gave up on it. Now I use Kaspersky. It's never given me any problems. Another thing about Norton, it came with this computer which i just bought. My old computer has the printer on it and it took me like 3 days to figure out why I couldn't print anything or get file sharing to work. Turned out Notron was blocking my network without telling me. I know I should have tried disabling Norton to see if it was the problem, but I couldn't find the pause protection button. I uninstalled it and everything worked fine. Norton sucks. |
