... you know, I really wonder about "security" these days ... I wonder ... is it really worth it ?



Here is a good link to go to if you are using Norton ...

lol, now that's really quite funny and scary all at the same time

Yeah but you only have access to the website's database and even if it was attacked I'm sure they have lots of backups

And no I will not remove my Norton because I like it, and I have no problems with it.

It took me three years to convince a friend of mine Nortons sucked a huge one.

Eventually, he changed.

He now been using Kaspersky for nine months, he happy.

Most of all he happy (in his words) how much faster his computer is.

The worst thing I've found about Norton is actually uninstalling it - I've done this on a few PC's now, and it has never been easy

Yes I've heard lots of bad thing about uninstalling it... But that's also to prevent viruses from deleting it...

Anyway I don't game that much on my PC so my speed isn't a big problem. To be honest, it runs very smooth, I have 1.5 GB RAM with a AMD Sempron processor. It's not much, but again, it runs smooth with Norton.

Norton has picked up all of my infection, could not get rid of all of them but I got rid of them with other tools
