Which norton please?

norton 2008 with systemworks basic or the new norton 360 version 2 (new 360 now got wireless protection like 2008)?



which is the better?



thanks



Which norton please?spyware



I would prefer Norton 360 version 2.0 since it has features of 1) Norton Internet Security( Firewall, Network Map, Autofill).



2)Norton System Works(Registry cleaner, Windows temporary files and Internet files cleaner, etc)



3)Norton Confidential(Password Manager)



4)Backup and Restore of your data.



Which norton please?virus scan



why norton is not good it was the best in 2003 now it is the worst
i had a trial of norton 360 version 2 i think



and it was ok, it does deal with nasties very well but quite pestering sometimes as it will always ask you to let applications run etc.



overall though it's ok.. it has pc security, back up and more!
Really Norton is about the worst anti-virus you can use. It slows your PC, doesn't detect 100% of viruses (no anti-virus does but Norton's figure is particularly low) and is very buggy. There are much better anti-virus products available including some which are free. I recommend AVG or Avast both of which are free and work very well.



Personally I use Avast which you can find here:

I used to use Norton but I found it really slowed my PC down.The main problems with it are that 1) it's a very good example of "bloatware" ie it very hungry for system resources and 2) it's a nightmare to uninstall and you will have to download an uninstaller from the Norton website.Use AVG and Comodo firewall pro - both free and won't hog much of your system resources.
Well, if you don't want advice, don't ask. Norton is not as good as they would like you to think.
Simple answer...



NON OF THEM.



Norton took control of my computer when I last used systemworks and now I avoid all norton products like the plage.



Sorry
Norton 360 every time it does virtually everything. Good Luck.
Why norton? It's the worst one out there.
