NEW KID on the security block, Microsoft, has released a product which detects one of its rivals as spyware and then deletes them.

A recent update to Microsoft's anti-spyware application flags Norton as a password-stealing program and prompts users to remove it.

Symantec is working with affected customers, the number of which is expected to be small, because the mislabeling error only happens when a combination of enterprise software and consumer test software are used together.

Recently got rid of Norton in favour of McAfee. Had right shite problems trying to uninstall the thing. Norton is a virus itself!!! Had to get into the registry and manually delete everything. McAfee is lots better in my opinion

mcafee is shit

so is norton

NOD32 or AVG rule

[maltloaf]

have to agree, had nothing but trouble with norton over the years. AVG is hassle free

[Nikki]

got rid of norton as it shite and causing to many problems for me too

[murdan]

No issues with norton nope none

[Thrush]

I've had no issues with Norton either.

[Raptor]

im telling you norton is shit - it completely takes over your lame system and slows it to fuck

if you dont think its causing problems you are wrong and i can prove it

you only have to look online to see the norton disapproval ratings

norton is for ppl who know jack about computers imho

[pmat]

of all i have used, bitdefender is far and away the best, imo.

[CominAtcha]

of all i have used, bitdefender is far and away the best, imo.

Agreed.

I've never used norton, just seen it gobble up too many resources on other pc's. My comps been quite happy accomodating zonelabs security suite for the past 3 years.

[marcode]

norton is evil shit.. almost on par with aol

[TwoPlAnKs]

i just dont bother with getting viruses in the first place, its much simpler

[DelTrotter]

avg free and sygate are my choices with webroot spysweeper and lavasoft pro for the spyware.

[TheFincher]

Udes to swear by Norton..... NOD32 all the way for me now
