Hi
After the numerous posts and many negative comments I had heard about
nortons 360 I had to check it out for myself. Some thing this evil had
to be seen in person. My test computer is a Pentium 4 at 3 GHz. It has 1
GB of RAM and a 200 GB hard drive. It was recently upgraded from XP to
windows 7. I use JAWS 11 the latest version.
Now that we have the statistics on with my report. I loaded the demo
version of Nortons 360 from the nortons site. They usually put the
latest version out for the demos which only makes sense. I ended up with
version 4. I removed my Microsoft Securities Essentials anti virus and
installed the nortons 360. Other then having to respond to a UAC request
from the windows system and possibly having to use my JAWS cursor all
went well. I should mention that I am pretty comfortable using the JAWS
cursor.
Next came the big test. Could I access the Nortons screen? Actually,
Yes! This is what I did. First switch to the JAWS cursor. Next, use JAWS
key plus r to go to unrestricted mode. After that it is just a matter of
up and down arrowing to find the items one wants. To go left and right
do a JAWS key plus left or right arrow.
I decided the most important thing was to do a complete scan of my
system. So, I located the appropriate section of the menu and pressed
the JAWS simulated left mouse click button. All the sudden it presented
me with another screen of scan options. I chose the deep scan option.
Then at the bottom of the screen I clicked the section to tell the
program to continue. The program asked if I wanted to set up my back up
now. Since I didn't want to create a back up of my data I clicked no.
Next a screen appeared showing all the things nortons 360 was handling
for me. it had just down loaded the latest virus definition version, it
was scanning for viruses, it was going to optimize my disk and so on. It
was handling life on its own now.
Here is the situation. When my computer was an XP machine it developed a
strange thing where windows created backups of its files automatically.
Well, the first time it did this all went well but the second time it
also created backups of its backups. What ever it was backing up the
files were incredibly small because when I ran nortons 360 it scanned
over 3,000,000 files. It located 12 tracking cookies. I used the JAWS
cursor and the JAWS left mouse click to easily run through the menus to
delete the cookies.
The final complaint I heard was that nortons 360 made it take hours for
a computer to boot up. This turned out to be false for the test
computer. It actually booted faster then before.
Over all I am impressed with Nortons 360 and will probably buy it when
the trial period is done.
End of report.
God bless,
Mark
