How dare norton have the tenacity to send norton secruity scan to me with attached viruses and spyware, how dare they.

took me the best part of 3 hours getting all the viruses out,

im reporting norton for this violation and if necessary will be taking this to trading standards about this behaviour

Can someone help me. I’m having a problem with this Norton Security Scan. Every time it scan, it doesn’t scan anything, it always stays 0. It always says “Looking for Protection Update…” that’s it. It stays like that and doesn’t scan anything. Anyone can help me with this?

Nice topic Deimos, Norton slows my computer down. It detects the virus but it iritates me with those popups again and again.

I prefer AVG, it’s free and reliable. Actually free anti virus like Avast or AVG is very reliable. I don’t recommend Norton to my friends as it will slow their computers.

Norton may slow computers down

Well, lucky you didn’t. Because it’s STILL bloated. Unless you use their corporate editions…….

Norton was quite famous back then for its bloated software and slowed down your PC

Somehow that image hasn’t gone from my head yet haha

Does Windows Defender work effectively at all?

By: dicky

dicky — Mon, 12 May 2008 00:49:17 +0000

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.
