My subscription for Norton Internet Security 2008 is about to expire and I'm starting to look around for another product. When I got my Flex3000 a few months ago I was having latency issues when surfing the web that would cause PowerSDR to lockup. I tracked down the source of my latency spikes to be Norton's "Intrusion Prevention" and disable it. I also find my self fighting with Norton from time to time with other applications, trying to share files across my home network, and I don't like that fact that it does not interface with my e-mail client Thunderbird. I've been looking at NOD32 as a possible replacement but thought I would post here to see what other Flex'ers are running before making my final decision.
I had Norton for a couple of years and found it to be horrible. It often tried to block *itself* from accessing the Internet for updates.
At present I am using 5-User pack of Computer Associates Internet Security Suite Deluxe, which was free after a mail-in "Competitive Upgrade" rebate via CompUSA.com (which, like circuitcity.com, is now a subsidiary of Systemax). It seems better than Norton.
My main problem is the scheduler, which is set to check for updates and then scan for viruses and spyware in the early hours of each morning but will often start scanning during the day while I am using the radio or doing other things.
I do use that computer for things other than the radio, so spyware and "tracking cookies" are found from time to time.
