Re: Norton's Antivirus

what i would do is remove norton from your system (if you can) and install zoze alarm it's free and a better firewall then get a good antivirus not panda' there just as bad, nortan really messes up your pc'

Re: Norton's Antivirus

^^^ Agree. Generally those AV's and firewall you pay for are bloated (in terms of resource hoggage) and most commonly targeted/attacked. Use a well known free alternative, they work just as well. Zone alarm and AVG are great. Even Windows Firewall is better than nothing.

Re: Norton's Antivirus

nah, dont use that avast, if its free, it probly doesnt work very well. I use the latest bitdefender product, I havent gotten a single virus, and it does really good with detecting spyware. And its easy to use firewall wise, as in it asks you once, you tell it an answer and youre done.

Oh yeah, and Norton fricken sucks!

I use avast and have done for over 3 years, never had an issue and I swear by the product.

Ditch everything Symantec related , pants software

Agreed LOL

Re: Norton's Antivirus

Im just saying that (in most cases) the free deal isnt as good as something you have to pay for.

Well in this case, free is just as good or better. That goes for software firewalls and for antivirus applications. There's no reason in spending money for something that you could get for free.

Here's what i did to fix my NAV prob while playing BF2. Open NAV up and click options, then go under Interent Worm Protection and Click on Program Control. If Xfire isn't in there, add it. If it already is, select it and click on remove and then add it again. This should work. Be sure to go to the root folder.

Re: Norton's Antivirus

Norton uses to much resorses, run zone alarm free firewall if you dont want to pay, and AVG free antivirus works well. or better still use a router w/ builtin NAV.
if you need to check your fire wall to see if its stealthed etc use this site.

Uh, yeah. That's like saying Spybot S & D is a trojan because there are lots of trojans with spybot in their name.

Re: Norton's Antivirus

Good, I had Norton and all I had was a sluggish program that ate up huge ammouns of memory and ran its tentacles of lag all through my system.
I now use VET andtivirus, my motherboard has built in firewall which works well.
