| Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Antivirus In regards to the Norton query. I had tp get it off a PC just today. It freaked out on the ladies 2 year old e-machine and loaded 186 proceses. The machine had a Celeron to add insult to injury. Removing Norton reduced here to 33 running proceses and returned her to the wonderful world of emailing her family. Symantec needs to close up and disappear. They lost my trust forever about 4 years ago. ESET is all I trust. |

Location: East Yorkshire | Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Antivirus Norton doesn't load processes, thats the OS. 4 years ago, and you've not bothered to check for improvements since then, rather lackadaisical, I like to keep up-to-date, applications move on, like OS's, you have to keep up with new applications, especially if they are a vast improvement on what used to be, living in the past is not really sensible in the world of computing. Past prejudices rarely are a help in problem solving, it closes the mind to other possibilities. |

| Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Antivirus I'm not looking to start a debate about which AV is the best or worse. But in the last 5 years symantec has caused more harm then its prevented. Its common practice to eradicate it in favor of either NOD32, Avast or Avira when its found infecting any system that crosses our bench. I know they have contracts with the military and all that but people fail to realise that when you buy a symantec product your not getting the same product the military gets. you get the one the fries your system. Past prejudices are not an issue. Everytime I come accros symantec its causeing problems and missing threats. Its day is done. |
