Default Recent problems with antivirus programmes

Some of you may have heard about some recent major problems with certain antivirus programmes – or may have even suffered from those problems.

I am sorry if you encountered any difficulties with your antivirus programme. I hope that you found a solution for it and that you managed to get your PC up and running again.

For those of you who have not considered Norton lately: Maybe now it would be a good time to take the Norton Challenge and see how we have improved! Check this out - Take The Norton Challenge See how we have enhanced our performance. And just give it a try, there's a money back guarantee!

Chris from Symantec

Thanks Chris from symantec, can you give us a compelling reason why we should switch and fork over the money for Norton when we can use free products like AVG and Comodo that do the job.

i agree with MichaelG
also, products like Nod32 and Kaspersky that don't use as much resources as norton do, and also the virus signature base on Nod32 and Kaspersky are better than Norton's...
i take it Symantec are the greedy guys that just want the money for software that isn't that good?

thnx, Ash

After using NAV for at least 10 years, I had to remove it(ver 2008) from my computer. Liveupdate would not work. Hours of assistance with technical support couldn't fix the problem. Not really interested in trying again until computer magazine reviews and reviews posted on this website from users show it is a superior product.

I think Chris from Symantec should have been spam banned
