Re: Norton Anti-Virus

Some people use Norton by choice. They like it and runs well on there system. The detection rates are good. Much better the other av's.
Some people use it cause that's what came installed on there computer. Whether Norton or the worst av out there it wouldn't make any difference. They won't maintain it either way. These are the people that keep the techs in business cause their computers don't work properly and never take care of it.
I used Norton's for 2 years and gave it up. For me it did use alot of resources. But I gave it up when I started having problems with it and could not get any help from Symantec with it. I was not about to pay their outrageous fees for phone help. So I started shopping.
The point is that there are alot of great products out there. What works for you might not work for me.
Just an after thought. You mentioned Kav. It is rated one of the best. When I trialed Ver.5 it slowed down my computer worse then Norton's ever did. I don't blame Kav for this. It's probably the configuration of my system and the other software I use and I probably will try ver. 6 when it comes out.
