Symantec never was great and it sure isn't now, the detection rate has gone down and it uses a big part of your system resources. If you'd change anti-virus, you will probably have a much safer and faster system. Not commanding you to do anything just suggesting.Hope i helped you with this piece of advice, and if i may do another suggestion: I'd suggest you use Eset NOD32 Anti-virus/Eset Smart Security. I used it for a long time now and never had any problems with it, it does a great job and is very light on system resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And zeppos most of the time NOD32 wins these av-comparative awards... But is norton stillthe same as symantec? Cous i haven't used it for a long, long time. So i wouldn't know the improvements. But i thought there was no way of fixing that mess. Maybe they're better now but i doubt it, normally(used to be) when you wanted to install, it leaved all kind of stuff on your pc. Sometimes even causing the computer to stop booting into windows :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearoninternet Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Symantec and Norton AVs are different stuff. :dance2: Symantec are the makers of norton av.Norton was taken over by symantec years ago.Thats when it all went downhill imo.

toyo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I just visited their www. I used their AV way ago and it was GOOD ;) Symantec I mean. I thought they keep marketing it, but it seems it's all about the Norton name now. It seems though that they still have products like Symantec Endpoint Protection where I'm not 100% but I think they still use the old-renewed Symantec AV. Maybe someone using it knows better.
