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.

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):

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
