Norton AntiVirus

[kickerf1]

I have Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition v.8.1 with scan version 4.2 recognizing 70223 which is the latest virus signatures as of 7/20/2005.

Now my question is this is a Corporate Edition version and I read that they're only intended for Enterprise and not for home use.

By using this product at home, am I being vulnerable? should I immediately switch to product intended for home use?

Thank you in advance.

See Section E of the

Consolidated Security Thread

It has a guide to the best antivirus. Please talk about antivirus products there, for there are too many of these threads floating around for anyone to really get any help.

So how is it you have a corp version for home use?

Hmm?

It is sold to the public, but most people acquire it from their office.

example: Symantec Antivirus 10.0 Business Pack

Yes, you can use it as a standalone scanner, but there are better options out there. Just like it's little brother, Norton Antivirus 200x, the detection rate is inferior to Kaspersky.

Because my company gave me a licensed copy for home used for servicing my country

And thanks for the responses guys. I will keep this AV but eventually will switch to the version 10.0
