My (paid) Norton security ran out a bit ago, and I came here for advice...It was recommended that I take up Avast anti virus and Zone alarm,which I did.....It was SO Ssslooow that after a week I couldn't stand it any longer and bought the new Norton internet security (for 3 machines) from e bay for £15. To me this is an excellent investment as at my age I cannot afford to tear out any more of my hair. ! To the chap that recommended Avast ! , thanks, but no thanks..... John.
I couldn't agree more! Norton Internet Security remains tarred by its abysmal reputation and, though the latest version is better (it couldn't have got any worse!), I don't know any IT professional who would touch it with a bargepole.
Like Craft, I'm happy to cough up too. Shame on me eh?!
I wouldn't have the time or skills to strip out my Norton and like my car or my washing machine, I prefer to be the an end user (or turnip depending on how you see it) of a reliable product without spending anytime at all on the mechanics.
Now give me a packet of seeds and I'll grow you a row of beautiful turnips but ask me to spend time loading or deleting software and I'd have to bow out.
At £15 to cover 3 machines (wife's and Daughters laptops) it's not coughing up a lot for 12 months peace of mind,! I,m afraid there's no little earner for you from THIS old codger postrophe,but there's probably plenty more fish in the sea !!!.
