Chrissy I don't think this is really fair, Nortons is a good product which is fighting against viruses which by definition 'hack' a system, to do this it has to hook the system in some unorthodox ways (wouldn't be much use if it was a well behaved program)
The only problems I've come across is where people have all the Norton AV "realtime" features turned on (ie it scans every file opened etc ) and then wonder why their system slows, esp if they have programs which do a lot of file opens But this can be disabled or tuned, My 2c worth Neven ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chrissy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list offtopic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 2:29 PM Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Virus scanners > I have spent hours "fixing" systems for people who have > used it and still got viruses - one comment that came up > a few times was that "nortons is great but I have to > close it down to do some things" - wall, it ain't great then, > is it? > > > Read James comments > > Having said that [about AVG] its free and definitely less > resource hungry than Norton's, which I wont touch with a barge poll. > > > My main reason for not liking it is that I have had lots of small > time consuming probs with it and not with AVG or FProt (which > I used before switching to AVG. > > I have not tested Norton's to find out if my gut feelings are technically > valid and I have no desire to as I like what I use now and do not > want to install something which I dislike just to prove I am right > about it. > > > Chrissy. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeremy North" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Multiple recipients of list offtopic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:46 PM > Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Virus scanners > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In what way? > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 11/06/2003 11:39:26 AM: > > > > > It beats Norton's anti virus progamme as far as I am > > > concerned and is a lot cheaper. > > > > > > www.grisoft.com > > > > > > Chrissy > > > > > > > > > > This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and > > intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they > > are addressed.
