I have symantec coporate edition and it's great it's always protected my rig.

Sure is a lot of trojan blocking in that history?
I wonder where you've been... :rolleyes:

And to top it all off, Norton 2009 matches both NOD32 and Kaspersky in both performance and detection rates. They made a huge leap in quality on the newest release.

It can detect threats from the future, simple as that.

This is way funny and it is one of reasons why I hate Norton.:shadedshu

Lots of americans are touchy about 'that' issue. Its best to be avoided at all costs.
We know it was intended as a joke, dont worry.

Oh also, for those thinking that I just clutter my PC with spyware, that's just Norton being stupid.

Programs that I create MYSELF (using Visual Studio) are classified for Norton as threats... And when I restore them, Norton goes back and deletes them once more, creating another log. Same with other applications that I am 100% are not harmful. And I wish I had NIS 2009 edition, I've heard that one is really good. However, the one I'm using is 2008.

Norton: We have detected you will get a nasty trojan at approx 6:25pm in 2 days. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

that norton is good....can he tell me the numbers of euromilhoes? 10 000 0000€ will give me a little help in here....maybe i buy an 4870x2 ...

that's a weird mistake, but i never use norton products...they are good, but heavy also....

ste2425 · Jun 15, 2009

come on flux capaciter?!? just just plain stupid carn't you see? aliens came took it to the future where they hooked it up got the virus thought oh shit an quickly brought it back, jeees simple man

hat · Jun 15, 2009

Meh. I don't use any real time virus protection at all. Not even a firewall. I run the Malwarebytes anti-malware scan every so often. I don't go anywhere to get viruses anyway.

Triprift · Jun 15, 2009

Lol man thats like a teenage girl going out naked at night and expecting nothing to happen.

hat · Jun 15, 2009

But I'm not going anywhere that's the point

Mussels · Jun 15, 2009

i know a few people who pulled that off for a while, mostly the kind that kept windows patched and up to date.

Programs to avoid if you dont have an antivirus: internet explorer, outlook/pop3 email of any kind, websites you've never been to before, standard chat programs (IE, dont use MSN/yahoo, use trillian/non common variations)

if you follow that, you rule out 90% of the sources of infection - and if you dont use port forwards, you're safe from worms too.

I do all of the above (except for MSN), but i use kaspersky as well.

DaveK · Jun 15, 2009

I don't see why you wouldn't just use an anti-virus, what's the big deal? As with condoms, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

ste2425 · Jun 15, 2009

its nice and easy to turn them off when you game but most anti-viruses and most decent pc can game and have it on so why the need to not have one?

My router's firewall is TOTALLY useless LOL

you need a router with DHCP + NAT. screw the useless firewall gimmicks, so long as you dont have ports forwarded it requires an outbound connection before anything can come in - which means regular worms cant get in unless you ran a trojan first.
