For those of you who don't have any type of PC security I thought I might post this. Norton is letting people Beta test their new all in one product. It seems better than past Norton products and doesn't seem to slow my system down as much. Just wanted to throw it out there....

normal version you have to pay. and beta-testing is also not to my liking cause probably there are some virus which they have already detected yet are unable to solve them, so "Ignorance is bliss"

Norton sux.. I use Mcafee

Norton sux because it hogs up the system but it is not that bad afterall. Everything exist for a purpose.

currently using Trend Micro..not that bad either..

if norton creates a light, easy program and not a fat,heavy resource hogging beast, then i'll use it

Well in stores every pc guy just about raves on about it, but on the net Ive seen a lot of support for Kaspersky and Nod32.

ive got nod32, the thing's a beast. monitors EVERYTHING, takes up NOTHING and the scans dont cause ANY lag

The workers at Best Buy and Circuit City have to endorse their sponsor's product, as far as I know.

Heh, thanks. My Norton just expired actually, prefect timing

[Greeny]

Yeh people I know say that kaspersky is good, but if you have low resources then use nod32.

I thought using 2 av's would conflict or something, or is that only firewalls?

They can interfeer, but it can be useful. Having two firewalls on at one time is hell, literally, i would know. If you have both mcafee and norton pick one, id personalyl pick mcafee. The best AV i think is freedom

[Greeny]

Well i still vote kasperky! But really there all the same arnt they, i mean they alls top the same viruses, just that they have different gui's (interfaces) and some take less memory etc.

Norton is definitely STILL A CPU HOG!

I mean damn, just the update function takes up 98% of my CPU. That is ridiculous!

[Greeny]

is that using the new version, if so pfft they suck lol. Maybe the neocodex people should create an av lol, then we can all aggree what is the best one out there!

[Raui]

Heres my advice to all of you out there. NEVER USE NORTON AV. With my half a years experience with it I was ready to start smashing my comptuer because it lagged like hell and I could sware they install viruses on your computer.

[ferris]

I vow not to touch anything Norton ever again

[Redblade]

even if its free and does not hog up the system

Kaspersky FTW. Been using it for over a year now, and I've tried other AVs such as Norton and McAfee. Far greater in comparison. Hourly updates, too.

[stealth3500]

norton is bloatware
i heard its faster if you use individual software

i use kaspersky and zonealarm and hourly updates are cool too =)
