I work for an AV company, I see people who suffer with Norton every day. 9/10 people i've helped who change from Norton say they are glad to be rid of it and how they can't believe how mch better their new AV is. It's fact, and how you're worked with PC's has no bearing on that. I'm not being argumentative here, i'm just tellng you straight. It's fact.

so i must be that 1 person then. because ive tried other AV programs and i didn't see must different.....

in fact i wasn't asking which AV is better... i was just saying nortons works great for me....

Norton has a significantly lower detection rate for viruses and malware than Kaspersky and NOD32... you are far more vulnerable using it than one of the others.

Don't forget avast. It's pretty good and widely used.
