Anyone got problems with Norton Internet Security?
We used to use Norton on our home computers for years from way back when
I first got Norton Utilities for Windows 95. At the community college
where I worked they use Norton Campus Edition and it seemed to work
pretty well over a large network - there's about 10,000 PC workstations
over there.
We've used Norton in our home office for several years, but we got tired
of paying for it every year - because the damn rent is too high. Several
years ago I had tried Avast, the free anti-virus program - and it's
pretty good for the price - free. There's a little voice that says "Your
anti-virus has been updated" every time you boot up your computer.
Then, about a year ago I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on our
laptop computers and on my Toshiba Ultrabook, just to try it out - it's
free too. I also have a version of Kaspersky that came with the
Ultrabook which I haven't tried yet. I've also tried McAfee in the past.
I assume they all have a backdoor for the NSA - whatever.
Then, about six months ago something happened to the Microsoft
anti-virus during an update. The program wouldn't launch or install any
updates. So, I tried to install a whole new version of MIE, but it won't
install - now I can't even get the program to uninstall, so I'm stuck
with a red x when I boot up. Go figure.
So, I got the free Avast again and installed it on all our computers and
upgraded the Avast on the Ultrabook with a purchased copy. So far, it
all works good - no problems.
Did I tell you that you can get Avast for free?
