Chris Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Symantec on Tuesday announced Norton AntiVirus 2007 and Norton Internet Security 2007, updated versions of the company's widely used security software for consumers. Slated to be available later this month, both products have been updated to provide better protection and system performance, Symantec said in a statement. Norton AntiVirus 2007 protects against viruses, spyware and related risks. Norton Internet Security 2007 is a suite that includes antivirus and anti-spyware protection and adds a firewall, intrusion prevention, and for the first time includes a phishing shield. Among the technology updates is protection against entire families of malicious software without the need for signature updates, Symantec said. Also, the antivirus technology can now detect malicious software that tries to hide using stealth technology known as rootkits, the company said.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have been the victim of Norton screwing up my computer on two occasions and will never ever ever go the Norton route again. So far as I am concerned they make malicious software - it certainly attacked me with a vengeance. I will admit that the first disaster was with Win 98 and the second time with Win ME. I never invited it in when I went over to Win XP so it may not be a problem now - but I am not enough of a masochist to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I never had any trouble with System Tools. However, when I went on line to pay another years subscription for System Tools 2003 in 2005, I was told that I no longer qualified for support. This was a two year old program. I got rid of it right away and installed Nod 32. It took several hours to get rid of it with various downloaded tools and registry editing. NEVER AGAIN.

-pops- Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Exactly with the above.Norton and, separately, Go-Back have both caused me much grief. I would never let anything of theirs near any of my machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never let anything of theirs near any of my machines.I ran Go back with no trouble at all for several weeks on my old computer in W98. Then one day, BIG PROBLEMS. I tried to uninstall it, and it ran for several hours, with the blue bar moving the tiniest amount across the screen. The computer never ran properly after that, and I had to find out how to reinstall W 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
