Norton Security Scan is part of Google Pack, a collection of useful softwares.

Click the check box next to “Norton Security Scan” and then click “Install Software” to start downloading. The PC that Deimos used to capture this screen shot already has Norton Security Scan installed, so it shows up at the bottom “You already have this software:” instead.
Google Updater - Current Status
Once selected Norton Security Scan and clicked “Install Software” you will be asked to download and install the Google Pack software, follow the on screen instructions. The above screen is Google Updater’s “Current Status” which shows any software or updates that you are currently downloading, there is nothing above as the PC Deimos used to capture this screen shot is not downloading any softwares or updates.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos did not bother himself with virus scanners until one day a virus infection caused him to require to perform a format and Windows XP reinstall to all the computers in his house hold. That would like three (3) desktop computers all together. Major pain in the rear end.

So what virus scanner are you using? Are you using any virus scanners at all?

I would say both complement each other to a certain extent…. I use set AVG Free to daily scan, while Endpoint protection I use it’s realtime scan….. that way, no conflict (again to a certain extent)….there will be clashing sort of, so far I haven’t encounter any major problems using AVG Free and Symantec Endpoint Protection at the same time.

One thing about Norton is that, it will slow down your pc no matter which version, however Norton’s corporate version which is call Symantec Antivirus, now call Symantec Endpoint Protection, it’s very lightweight compared to their Norton Antivirus commercial counterpart…….. so, get their corporate edition instead of their retail edition… you will see the differences and effectiveness….

I used Norton before, it really slow down my PC performance, especially when it scanning my system. Besides that, i feel that Norton not really perform well compare with the other antivirus software. I believe even some free antivirus can perform better than Norton.
But i never use Norton security Scan before, i am using ThreadFire and Windows Defender.
