Norton 360

[falcon-q]

I just bought a new PC. Although it's preinstalled with a free antivirus software, I'm not confident of it. I did a search on the net and found good reviews on Norton 360.

Any of you guys use Norton 360? Is it really as it is in the reviews and is it worth the money?

the best paid package is ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.

 

[rakeshishere]

Its same as previous NORTON Products!

my suggestion is to go for Kaspersky Internet security suite. Currently in version 6. 7 beta has come out recently. Just wait for some time and get Kaspersky Internet security 7.

I suggest don't go for Norton.It has a very bad habit of eating lots of system resources.I suggest you install Avast! antivirus+Comodo Firewall+Spybot Search & Destroy.
The best part about the above software is the all are free to use & also very light on your system,but are good at their Job.

if u decide 2 uninstal norton, make sure u use the "norton unstaller" tool.

my sgstn : uninstall it and go for freeware avast or avg.
that what i did with mine; uninstld norton and instald another (kis).

Why not try NOD32? it is cheaper than norton 360. Also it gives you full shield for your computer. Of course, norton is a very good product!

I think you’re talking about the old Norton. I’m having it in my 4-yr old laptop, got recently from the last IT show and it’s good.

NOD32 has a weak rootkit detection thus your system i more prone to bots with rotkit..

Better go fo KIS pay something on ur PC.. freewares are not acceptable all times.

NOD 32 is a good choice bcoz it is also low on system resources !

 

[falcon-q]

Thanks for the replies guys!

Hmm, the reviews I read did mention the fact that the new Norton products are not as resource-intensive as their old products.

 

[boosters]

Use Panda, Nod or Kaspersky, these 3 are rocking.

Yes! It is !!!

Norton 2007 is better than 2006 in performance. But still Bitdefender, Kaspersky & Nod32 are pretty much better in virus detection & low on system resources except Kaspersky !

KIS is way lot better.
Better then Avast Pro.
I used avast pro and it sucks.
Norton 360....
Nah its not even in the top five...

 

[salils]

go 4 NOD 32
previously i had norton which is too much resource hungry.......

 

[manishjha18]

buddy kis is good-but it is heavy on system--heavier than even norton 2007-
bitdefender is best package-if u have say 128 mb ram use nod 32( use it in my home),1 gb ram then u may go for kis-but anyway its proactive is very much irritating and so is also its sound when it finds a virus
