Re: [slim] Norton firewall and antivirus

Just to second that - used Norton for a few years until it ground my
system into the ground, moved over to Trend Microsystems for a few
years. I moved back to Norton Internet Security a year or so ago.  Works
well, doesn't hog resources and has a host of useful addtional features.
Recommended.  Now if only I could say the same for Norton Save and
Restore (although I'm fairly sure that;s user error!).

[slim] Norton firewall and antivirus

2010-03-04 Thread Nonreality

Just for some info.  I used to love Norton Utilities.  It was the
coolest program around back in the 90's.  Very handy and did a lot of
things that other programs didn't. Then they expanded to firewalls and
anti virus and everything else and got a bad rep for being bad and a
resource hog.  I tried it and I had to agree and stayed away from all of
their programs for years.  I finally tried Norton 360, the first
version.  While it had some nice things it was very flakey and not
reliable.  I wrote to them and told them what I thought and finally they
released 2.0 which was much better.  Even though they had improved it
still was a resource hog and I gave up on it.  After about 3 months and
needing an all around program I tried the Norton Security.  It worked
wonderful and had no problems with my SB3 or with resources.  I've used
it ever since as my fire wall, antivirus and utilities and have not had
a problem.  My reason for writing this is that I really badmouthed
Norton for a number of years and just want it to be known that they
really have done a good job over the last three years. I feel if I'm
going give a bad name to someone and they work to make it be better then
I'd better also say when they do a good job.  So for 3 years now it has
been very good with my SB3 and I hope they keep it up. Not one problem
with my SB3 or any other program that I run. I've tried Norton 360 and
it was fine, but I seem to like the Internet Security version better. 
It seems like it is better for the more advanced users, not that I'm
that advanced or anything.  Pardon me for posting this but I feel I owe
them a bit for some of my harshness and I'm happy to see a company do
well by it's customers.  I hope they keep it up.
