Short answer: NO, not really. Norton anti-virus is generally designed to stop viruses... but its not even 100% efficient at that. You see, all norton anti-virus is, is a program that will prevent malicious programs, and scripts to run on your computer. Norton has extended their services to include firewall, norton utilities, and so forth. Nothing in this world is secure, and if your on the internet, your vulnerable. What norton will do, like i mentioned above, is stopping scripts, and trojans, spyware, which are programs that sometimes allow others to monitor your activity, record your traits and your likes, and even take over your computer. The best thing is to not open email from people you dont know, dont open attachments that might not be meant for you, do not share passwords, try to change your password often, and make it difficult to guess.

I used to use Norton and I have never had a problem with computer hackers. And even now that I don't use it and use a free virus protection, I don;t have a problem with virus's or hackers.
So I wouldn't worry too much. Minded that you only go to website you trust, don't open suspicious looking e-mail.Use a pop up blocker and firewall. And along with Norton, have a spyware program as well, such as windows defender which is free.

confident, viruses can impact your internet connection. yet there could be different the clarification why your connection is affected, too. call your internet service (or perhaps take the workstation to a working laptop or workstation expert... ultimate purchase's Geek Squad is approximately as decrease priced as you will locate) and clarify the region to them... they'd generally inform you if that's a topic that's fixable. you additionally can attempt unplugging the workstation, taking it to the region you're employing now and plugging it into the different internet connection. yet once you're typing this from college or paintings, it probable should not be attainable. to steer away from issues interior the destiny... constantly replace your anti-virus in many cases. in case you won't be in a position to arise with the money for to maintain Norton as much as date in many cases, use a loose antivirus (Avira is what i take advantage of, and is basically as useful as Norton). yet human beings will choose greater records than basically "my internet is tousled" to have the skill to help locate/restoration the challenge. Take it to somebody who is conscious desktops... it will probable be incredibly definitely worth the money.

If you buy a NAT router (30-60 CAD/USD), you will be guarded against any unsolicited internet traffic. It will stealth your computer so that you will be invisible to hackers.
To test your computer and see if it is protected against hackers, go to grc.com and click on shields up

no an antivirus is just to help you get rid and keep out viruses and some spyware/addware. use a firewall to keep out hackers....but that is not foolproof and sometimes it is more hassel then its worth
