What do you guys think of it? It came with my Comcast/Xfinity Installation.

I'm not a huge fan of Norton, it really loves to eat your resources and not do its job properly, but its been sometime. I'm still in favour of ESET which I've used about 2 years now.

I uninstalled Norton on my computers, it takes to much memory. I always use AVG free.

Another anti-virus I wouldn't dream touching.

I think it is one of the best antivirus programs out there. I've never had any problems with it and it doesn't seem to affect my laptop's performance.

Norton isn't that great, it eats at all your computers resources, slows everything down, and overall it's just not that great.

I think avast is the best one I've ever used, it's free and is always in the background, and you know, isn't always reminding me that I need to renew my subscription.

i've never had any antivirus except selinux on fedora, a long time ago. now i believe it's apparmor on opensuse and something else on ubuntu, but that doesn't really count.

anyways, norton is crappy, i've heard(the world of microsoft sounds difficult).
there are various posts about them, with that xbox3-something guy talking bad about it. you'll find them.

btw, is there a linux version of norton?

The people who are complaining about it need to stfu, they are way to picky. Yes, it does use some memory, but with all the new upgrades coming out on computers, it doesn't make a single difference...

I have it. I pay for the yearly subscription, works beautifully, and it removes ALL threats on my computer...trust me I do tons of stuff that can put my computers security at risk. Norton gets the job done.

It's a dog eat dog world, you have to be picky when it comes to security.

Norton and McAfee -- Blahh - Def not a FAN
ESET (pay---AWESOME product and company)
Microsoft Sec Essentials (Free-- pretty good and isn't a resource hog)

Yes, it does use some memory, but with all the new upgrades coming out on computers, it doesn't make a single difference...so you're encouraging resource wasting?
...works beautifully, and it removes ALL threats on my computer...it works so good at creating the illusion of securityI do tons of stuff that can put my computers security at risk.such as updating windows?
