Norton

[Confusednewbie1552]

Will you notice norton using the resources on your computer?

 

[amdguy]

yes...especially the firewall, which i've stopepd using

 

[Schadenfroh]

Norton is a system hog compared to some of the others, used about 35 mb just for the antivirus, when i used to run it before switching to antivir

 

[brunswickite]

i use mcafee, its ok i dont notice the slow down so i have kept it.

 

[IEC]

Yeah, uses about 30-40MB for me, but worth it - stopped like a dozen hacker attacks and virii already...

 

[BigJ]

the Symantec Antivirus uses alot less resources then NAV2004 and does a decent job IMHO.

 

[minendo]

Norton uses minimal resources. Don't listen to those who tell you otherwise because they don't know what they are talking about.

 

[Anubis]

no norton AV 2003 uses almost nothing on my comp

its currently useing less then 10megs

 

[Confusednewbie1552]

I have norton 2004, should I keep it or download anti vir?

 

[Anubis]

norton 2004 what? system works, AV firewall? ???? they make a bunch of things

It's "viruses"

I have Norton Anti-Virus Corp. Ed. and it can't use more than 2MB of resources unless I'm doing a scan or something.

 

[Confusednewbie1552]

Norton 2004 Proffesional Antivirus or something I think.

 

[Aharami]

i use norton systemworks 2002. uses about 10megs

 

[Anubis]

install it

 

[Confusednewbie1552]

ok and what firewall should I use it with?

 

[Anubis]

Kerio Personal Firewall

mcafee opens up like 10 active processes. check your task manager and try to find out what they are. there are so many opened by mcafee

but i messed up an installation so i can't re-install norton (the enterprise version), and AVG doesn't do it for me

One of these days Alice...one of these days!!!

 

[jadinolf]

Hog me, Norton. Just keep up the protection.

 

[mchammer187]

damn those bastards at symantec

i uninstalled all the norton stuff that came with this brand new dell laptop and i swear this thing runs 300% faster

1.5A Pentium M (centrino )

IMO norton is as bad or worse than any spyware out there

 

[raildogg]

i use free firewall and free virus scanner. well ... they are both very good and dont use resources much

 

[simms]

kaspersky here. 8MB usage.
