Symantec Norton 360 Version 2 is now AVAILABLE .....

Official Product Link

No thanks, Norton is one of the worst AVs.

no thank you for your answer cause i think norton 360 2.0 is now one of the best avs out there now.

how izzit worst? plz explain. thank you

Bro, you tried Norton 360 2.0? It doesn't lag. Oh wait, your computer is Pentium 3 with 1MB RAM. rofl.

Have you tried the Norton 360 ° Version 2.0 before drawing up that general conclusion on Norton?

Have you even tried it.


Agreed with you.


Agreed with you also, lol so many people flame him/her for spamming and bad-mouthing Norton 360 V2.0. He/She deserves it.

hehe... I am using it now. Anyways, before this i tried the Norton latest Internet Security, feel free and protected. Only the resource is eaten when logging on windows.

After while i switch to the Kaspersky 2009 Internet Security which i thought i will be better (resources consume) It's only a slightly better.

Now I am using Norton 360 v2, i think this is the fastest antivirus (Don't give me a compare with free edition) to log on the windows.

I am now using Vista Ultimate 64 bit and it's working well. I recommend it actually.

how about virus, spyware and malware detections?
my KAV 9 license end in a few months
thinking of using 360
got any review?

------------------
btw, how much?

Hehe.. i am just newly using it. Just get updated and it's loading very very fast. I was shocked when i see it. Unbelieveable and restart again and see. hehe... But i am using 4gb ram. Don't know about others.

Review can see thru online once u google it. i Very satisfy on it.

how much does the new 360 cost? i know quite expensive when i was looking on the first version.....

200 for now i think

How is this compare 2 NIS 2009 with 360?

Performance and price better except you do not have the disk utilities features in NIS.

Hi guys,

Planning to buy 360 for a company. What's the difference between 360, Norton Antivirus 2009 and Internet Security?
Can anyone pls help explain.

Thanks.

Here the pictorial comparison of the 3 key products. Norton Products Comparison

seems like u cant be cured anymore

btw, 360 seems to be pretty good all-in-one security product....but its interface hold me back

Thanks.

nav is good but nis not sure ...coz i used nis b4 and it was really annoying

actually whats the diff between the 360 and internet security?

so many products out there ... don't know which one gives what also ... no matter how i read the product specs .. it all just seems to say protect protect protect .... but what are the comparisons between the 2 anyway?

one is with that pc tuneup and backup thingy .. and the other doesnt have .... thats more or less about it rite ...?

What you said is correct, 360 has tuning and backing up utilities but IS doesn't. I'd recommend that you use IS '09 and get separate software to do the tuning and backing up. TuneUp Utilities for tuning and Norton Ghost for backing up.

Wow.. u sure do live under a shell.
In the present, Norton is one of the Best AVs.

Since this is a Symantec sub-forum. I'll say that Norton AV is the best AV.
PS: I'm not a fan-boy.

PM me if interested

Bro, please create a thread regarding your sale in Garage Sales, anyway, good luck in your sales. Too bad I've already got 6 licenses for Norton Internet Security 2009.

How can Norton compete with Kaspersky, NOD32, Bitdefender, AVG Free?

I used Norton AV 06, 08, 09 all for at least 1 month and I seriously gave up. But I'm still willing to try to any symantec's future release. For now, none of their products can even touch their competitors

I agree that Norton AV '06, '07 (you didn't use 2007s), '08 were the worst AV of history but I must admit, 09 is a great improvement.

Lol, AVG free uses too lots of system resources, also same with Bitdefender. Sure it won't compete with Kaspersky & Nod32 (as for now), but who knows later? Why don't you go the link below and see the result. NAV is almost at par with Kaspersky in the certification level (except for Nod32 which is at Advanced+ cert):
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2008_11.php

Erm, I compared AVG and by far it uses the least system resource. In fact, coincidentally, this laptop I'm using now uses AVG

Well, AVG has a detection rate of 43%, and Norton AV09 has 44%, then why would one need to spend money and waste system resource for just 1% improvement?


That's just my opinion.

Because freeware can't compete with paid product? If the free edition of AVG are so good, they won't bother releasing paid product, right?

maybe that's why AVG is having 80 million users

How many users Norton have?

Sometimes, good things come free

and it seems this Norton 360 slowssss your computer like hell. Worst than NIS 09

Regarding Norton 360 slowing your computer down. I've to admit yes, it's slower than NAV/NIS '09 but Norton 360 has a patch/update called V2.0 which rectifies speed issues.

If NIS09 really slow down my pc, than why i can still playing lots of game smoothly while running ragnarok and ftp server at the same time?
You have an ice age pc ah?

And V3.0 (Lightning Bolt) is currently under testing and I'm in it. Hope 360 will be as fast as NAV/NIS 09 and improve the detection rate.

You can't take what's stated on the Internet for granted. Just because there's 80 million downloads, it doesn't means AVG Free have 80 million users. It's like saying "Hey, I already give 1 million leaflets and right now I have 1 million customers! Hurrah!", which is pure bullshit! And oh, you should've also take into consideration that the free edition are downloaded by Jack Sparrow and turned into Pro version with the help of tah keygens.


Yeah, but it also uses lots of system resources, especially when scanning and updating. It won't run smoothly on P4 1.4GHz, 256mb laptop, while NAV works almost perfectly smooth.


Maybe the version you tried is outdated. Norton 360 v2 isn't that slow, and with v3 currently in testing, we still have time to figure it all out...

duh...AVG's proclaimed 80 million users are from their antivirus update database meaning, it's not from the number of downloads at all, it's counted from the number of updates

And I can comfirm, the latest Norton 360 is another 'Norton' product.

What do I mean by 'Norton'?
1)System resource hogger, will slowwww your computer.
2)Perform scans diligently but never finds the virus
3)Plenty of unnecessary pop-outs

These are the famous downsides of Norton.

but still, Norton is an average antivirus. Not the best, and not the worst
but still, Norton will get raped if compared to NOD32, Kaspersky, Panda, Bitdefender.


And if anyone of you thinks that I'm lying, go google it out yourself. Then thy shall seek the truth

Plenty of unnecessary pop-outs??

I used to have 4 computers running AVG Internet Security Trial that was downloaded from the official AVG website -> I used a Key Finder -> I entered the found keys -> Changed all my AVG IS "Trial keys" -> "Full/Pro keys". After that, I managed to update it. Does that still count?
I haven't encountered a single pop-up relating to NIS '09, may I know where you receive your pop-ups from?


I haven't encountered a single pop-up relating to NIS '09 but I don't know where he receives his pop-ups from?
Edit: Removed quoted smilies.

See, you clearly don't know what you're mumbling about. AVG licensing protection is so weak that you can use AVG with pirated serial number and get those updates. I have someone who's being using pirated AVG for years. If updates is counted as AVG users, no wonder they got 80 millions, no, maybe even gazillion of users.


Those are the famous downsides of the old Norton.


I thought you said earlier it's the biggest failure?


The truth has been revealed and it's clear who's the liar right now. Go back and repent

People...check this out....look at how pathetic Norton stands against Kaspersky, NOD32, Bitdefender and even AVG

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/379971

so why pay more for Norton which will fail you ultimately?

LOLed again back at you. See that thread start date, it's May 2006. and AFAIK, Norton start releasing all-new-improved 2009 version at September 2008. Wouldn't that be overkill? It's clearly that the poll was made waaaaaaay earlier. In matter of fact, no one voting as of the date later than early 2008. So it CANNOT be used as a reference

Would you admit if I call you a stupid dumb F? You just got served dude...

And guys, why would you totally ditch Norton because of this guys lying words? The evidence is there that Norton has improved alot for the latest version, and you blademaster are so biased to realize that. You're just not being professional in this case. Admit your defeat.

I was shocked to see such vast improvement.

If I were to reformat my Vista soon, I might give Norton a try. I'll install back ESET ESS (overall performance winner) if Norton doesn't fulfill my thirst(tho most likely won't be the case lulz).

Thats what you get when you still living in the snail shell

You stupid dumb fu*k! The thread was created on:



Trust me, download and install the 15-day trial of NIS '09 and you'd be so amazed you tried the trial, you'd purchase it right after using it for 1 day.


Haha, totally agree with you.
Edit: Spoilered.

I don't understand why you're getting personal over this.

Have I called you or other forumers names in this thread before? Yes, I labeled Norton/Symantec as lousy/hopeless before, but this has never gone personal. I think you're getting very emotional over this.

My motive here is not to hurt your feelings, I just wanted a matured spiritual exchange of thoughts about how Norton performs.

And please, don't call anyone names here or lodge any personal attacks. It's unfriendly.

Yeah, after all these, you said you just wanted a matured spiritual exchange of thoughts now? I'm not taking it personal, as you want matured thoughts about how Norton performs, I want it too. But you're too biased with your previous bad experiences with Norton and keep bashing up the new products with lies to persuade other peoples to not use it. I didn't lodge anything to anywhere.

So I guess it may ended here. The battling isn't going anywhere and Symantec won't giving me free copies of Norton products anyway. This thread should be kept as a references to future Symantec users, as it contains critical informations for users to make decisions.

Let's go on and keep it clean

Oh so you're saying that you weren't emotional just now? But you clearly called me a dumb F

And for the record, IMO, the current Norton 09 products wouldn't convince computer literate people. Maybe Norton can con the noobs.
