Advantages: a well known product Disadvantages: slows down your machine
...norton 2007 is that because symantec is widely used hackers make sure that norton cannot detect then or they attack norton itself as well as norton only updates once or twice a week it makes it easier for viruses to bypass the ativirus scanner.
other antiviruses like Grisoft which sells a product called AVG update there definitions every day and it is half the price of norton which is about 49 US dollars while Avg is around 20 Us dollars. ...to www.grisoft.com and try AVG.
you can download norton from symantec web site for 59.99(that includes the cost of downloading)or from Any IT store.You can even get it from ebay at the same price. these prises are in US dollars.

Though symantec has been around for a long time.they need to improve by update everyday or improving there scanner so they don't have to update as often.
One improvement it does have is it comes with its own firewall.
other new items are a security panel that reminds you to update your windows and a better scanner.
If you want a well know product that does not always catch the viruses stick with norton otherwise got to www.grisoft.com and try AVG.

Advantages: the live help can sometimes be usefull Disadvantages: the space it takes up from your computer.
I believe that norton anti-virus really isnt the best you can get for your money. i bought this from my local computer superstore roughly 2 months ago, and i can honestly say il never buy norton again. it takes way too much computer memory and can slow down your system a hell of alot! not only this, but it doesnt always install correctly and it's also pretty useless. it hasnt picked up a single spyware or virus on my computer since i bought it, yet ... ...package picks up 20-30 infections a week! i had to get some live assistance when i first installed norton because a component didnt install correctly. it was a 10 minute wait and the responses were slow and painstaking. it's got alot of variety when it comes to features, but only about 2 of these actually need to be used, the disk clean up and disk defragmenter wich actually work. its not reliable as it doesnt warn you when a threat is detected.

...concentrated.So as per this aspect symantec is developed their security.But They have to consider while launching their new product they have to concentrate on speed of the users computer.
Because we by a high end PC to enjoy its speed and when we install the product it slows it down . SO speed lovers dont think about it . And security lovers it is a best option available in the market. Still one more disadvantage is its cost which is far more than ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Too slow, too much memory useage - beware!
I bought this anti virus software for my daughter from a computer store just earlier this year. I install the software and have had huge problems in memory on my daugters computer so much so that I have removed this software from her system and replaced this with an internet software that costs me nothing and does not use up too much memory and also does not slow my daughters computer down to nearly a stand still. Would not recommend this software ...
