FYI Stay very far away from Norton Antivirus 2004

[Nitemare]

Installed it a few days ago and brings back rather painful memories of running windows 95 on a 486....


I think it scans every friggin 0 and 1 in every line of code, for the resource hit I would hope so....

 

[BillGates]

Yep, and it has activation.

Is mcaffe any good? Costco sells the pro version with two licenses.

McAfee has sucked for the last 6 years

Going to try Norton Internet Security w/ NAV 2003, if not going to zone alarm and something else. I have over half a gig of memory and it still takes several minutes to open some programs.

Not anymore, just installed the PoS

Check Symantec AntiVirus Corp Edition - it's much better.

Time to turn in your celeron. I've had it installed for a while, works great.

Don't do it!!!

NIS licence is only about 6 months (or less) and if you do not renew, it won't let you email out. (I would assume in as well.)

And you cannot uninstall NIS and leave NAV in. It is a real piece of crap.

Not to mention, that it is terribly slow. I cannot compare to NAV 2K4, but I would guess you would see what I mean.

I tried Norton 2k4, then I tried Corporate Edition. Corporate is amazingly better.

 

[SportSC4]

PC-Cillin. I've used Mcafee, Norton 2003 and 2004 (yes, 2004 is terrible) and i don't hesitate in reccomending pc-cillin over mcafee or norton

 

[Freejack2]

Anyone have any opinions on Trend Micro? I use their housecall scan all the time.

 

[hjo3]

AVG > PC-cillin > Norton > McAfee

Norton 2k w/ NAV 2003 seems to be working ok now

 

[MithShrike]

AVG is quite good. I use Norton... just had to tweak the settings so I could get decent performance.

It means that you can't download it from the net and use it for free, stupid. Jeez

 

[Nocturnal]

I use Nav2k4 and yes, when it does a full system scan I cannot do anything. I have to leave it overnight to do its thang.

Yep..Corp edition is king. Symantec in general seems better than Norton. not sure why they have the dual line of products..but whenever possible I go symantec as the product always seems more streamlined and efficient. Another example would be Norton Ghost. Don't get it. Its a waste of time and lacks a lot of great features available in Symantic Enterprise Ghost.

Oh..and regarding the Corp Antivirus..if you can usually get it for free from your company (if that's what they use) especially if you VPN from home..

 

[pitupepito2000]

who needs norton, when you could be running linux

 

[nsafreak]

AVG>Norton, McAfee, etc. al

LOL before you call people names, maybe you should check yourself. Do you actually think you can't pirate NAV 2k4?
