Nortons is one of the worse antivirus program you can have. Their slick marketing skills, is what is selling a product that is a resource hog, fails to find a virus, or protect you. Plus if you attempt to remove their product you are left with over 375 fragments of Nortons hidden all over your pc. (You will play hell removeing them, as they cause conflict).
Here what I use for a one time fee for life of $29.99 and you will get auto. updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choice I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.

Norton 2003-2006 were huge resource hogs that would slow all but top-of-the-line machines down.
Norton 2007 has been completely re-done and now uses a very reasonable amount of computer resources.
Norton has very good virus detection capabilities and has an extremely low incidence of false-positives.

I used to be a big fan of Norton in the past.
I have found that the more recent Norton Antivirus software tends to be really heavy on computers and slow them down.
I switched to Avast and never looked back.
It is free and light and is really good.

I even have got here across that most of the unfastened antivirus courses available are merely as stable as McAfee or Norton. i used to be a extensive supporter of McAfee, yet a chum of mine examined the two McAfee and a few unfastened antivirus courses on separate computing gadget, and he relatively got here across that the unfastened application relatively exams for and downloads new definitions extra often than McAfee. My very own favorite is Microsoft protection necessities, yet Avast antivirus is yet another stable one. precise now, I even have the Microsoft software put in on 3 desktops, all that are many times used on the cyber web, and that i've got had no issues subsequently far with viruses. additionally, Microsoft protection necessities runs easily and makes use of little or no gadget factors. to illustrate, precise now, in direction of an entire test, it relatively is utilising under a million% of my processing skill.

Norton antivirus and AOL are two of a kind although two different things. Your computer will be kinda taken over by them and make it very difficult to get rid of.
