Norton Antivirus

Basically I hate it. I've been using Avast for a while now and it seems like a very safe and secure program. Norton on the other hand is not, it slows the computer down, eats up valuable resources and is generally crap at doing the job people are buying it to perform.

I really wish people would stop buying it and just use the good free virus programs that are available and IMO better than most you could purchase.

Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a rant but i'm getting tired of fixing friends and family's computers that have either been reduced to a crawl by Norton or have been riddled with virii that Norton has failed miserably to block.

Yea let's do it

, I was just looking for a domain name to register, so I could set up a website dedicated to the extinction of Norton AV and Symantec.

Symantec should just buy out Nod32 and they already brought out sysgate so dunno what they doing...

Man, no they shouldn't. They'll ruin that aswell. They bought Sygate, one of the best free firewalls available and within a month announced that they were no longer going to provide updates for it.

People should stop buying anything made by Symantec thus stopping their cashflow and making sure they can't buy up any more competition just to shut them down.

Perhaps we should have a pic thread of Norton disc destruction that'd be fun.
