Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Antivirus

Well that's good to know because that is what I am using, was using, will be using again when I reinstall it........ again.............

Need to figure out how to get it to back off sometimes though.

Hmm...so Norton has improved? Cause from what I remembered, it had a very heavy foot print on any system I had tested it on.

But I haven't tried Norton 360....I'll wait until the x64 version is available.

You'll wait a long while.
It works just as well on 64 bit, I know I've used it.

Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Antivirus

Running NOD32 64bit.

All i have to say is wonderful !

I like it very, very much.

Kaspersky i used to run, but, i find NOD32 much more faster and reliable.

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.

That shows a distinct lack of knowledge, about the latest Nortons, and its "piece" not peace.

What year was the Norton,?

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.
