McAfee ans Symantec (Norton) are the two most worthless app out there. Symantec is just a collection of out of date programs that they bought from someone else and put their name on it. Symantec slows a machine to a crawl.
Since Symantec bought Norton, I do not know why IT groups still use this piece of junk.
Tell me about it. I ditched Norton on the good advice of a tech-savvy friend, and have never looked back.
The same good friend encouraged me to ditch IE for Firefox. Another GREAT call. That was over five years ago, now.
That was certainly true of NAV and related products after the 2003 versions until recently, but Norton Internet Security 2009 is not a resource hog. That's hard to believe, I know, but it's true. I was surprised to find myself liking a Symantec program again, after so many years.
