I've renewed norton antivirus but before that when it tells you to rwenew it and says about how many threats it blocked during the year, I was shocked at how many there was. It was about 750,000 threats it had blocked... has anyone else had this many threats.. its crazy.!

Norton is bad.

750,000 threats. I wouldn't be surprised. Out of the many customers that use it and the fact that Norton indentifies anything installed on your computer a threat unless you tell it not. Annoying and pointless.

Norton's crap, there are a lot of better programs out there for checking for viruses and spyware

Norton fucked up my computer twice, so we switched to McAfee, which is ok i guess.

Eh, I hate Norton. I have Avast and ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware, ZoneAlarm acts as a firewall and Avast immediately asks you what to do when it detects adware, viruses, or spyware.

I'm not allowed to log onto my campus' network without Norton installed.

I think both Norton and McAfee are crap, personally. I use AVG, it works for me.

I would use AVG, but it won't work on my computer, something corrupts it.

Yay. Avast is good, and ZoneAlarm is good too ;o

Although personally I don't use an antivirus at all. I'm smart enough to avoid them ;)

Tip: Anything that's 857KB on any P2P program is a virus/trojan ;)

SCS is the best out of them all, however.

Yeah. I don't know how many times I had to fix computers with the 857kb virus >.<. I like Norton but it was a bitch for me to install. I had a bad virus on my computer and surprisingly Norton was the only virus scanner that was able to get it out. My most favorite one is NOD32. In suites I like McAfee. The firewall is a lot easier to use.

I hate norton too.

and norton has never stoped trojans ive had two with this computer that norton has never found. Then i put all these new programs like kaspersky and spyware programs and it found like 170 somthing adware, spyware, viruses, about like 5 trojan horses that norton antivirus didnt even no about and it was the newest updated and 2006 version.

not to many ppl use norton anymoer cuz it dont work yur better off buyin a new antivirus rathe than renewing it

I'm using Panda right now... seems decent.

I don't know. I don't download stuff really, so I really only need a firewall or whatever.

Used to use Norton; I thought it used to be okay. A couple years ago. Now it's just stupid and annoying.

at least i'm not alone

I use AVG. Its free and good.
