Both are crap.

Its better, its faster, its free.

There's a couple of other good free ones too.

What a nightmare I'm having with my wife's PC. She has a limited account on her machine and because of norton It was behaving badly. Cannot open u$oft app et al. Networking is sluggish too. Sometimes off and not working. I wish there is a better alternative better -than apple.

I quit using Symantec products in 2003 and I have never looked back. They publish/sell bloatware that does not install or uninstall cleanly. Some of their programs conflict with others of their programs. Their products made all my PC's run very slowly because of their resource hogging. Much better, and less expensive, alternatives exist for all the programs they sell. I wonder how they ever stay in business!!

Norton is one of the worst things you can put on a computer these days. I've seen it cause so many problems that at this point any time someone tells me their computer is acting up, my first response is "uninstall Norton."

Thus far, that advice has never failed to correct the problem.

I have exactly the same problem... under ubuntu, without having any norton soft installed. Is the problem realy norton dependent ?



lol, surprise surprise, isnt snoton supposed to do that, another case of the 'unwashed masses' usin somethin that comes bundled as crapware with new rigs assuming it must be good kit !!!!

take my advice peeps and get rid of it, if you can !!!! if you use a 'power' uninstaller like Revo, just check out the registry entries/temp files/folders that snoton leaves behind, its kit chokes the registry with more tendrils than a mass of poison ivy on steroids !!!! also be afraid, very very afraid of removing said entries, cos if ya dont know what your doin, your more than likely gonna end up with a stuffed system :O(

most of their kit is ancient, dressed up in new skins, they do a M$ite by refusing to let go once installed, another M$ite ploy being the takeover/burying of their competitors, their kit can be almost as bad as a 'spy falcon variant' and the other flavours of malware theyre supposed to protect you from O_O

why oh why peeps use their crap when there are so many far superior FREE bits of kit out there is beyond me, talk about resource hogs too, nooooooooooo stop it, im goin for a lie down now :O)

/rant over.

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1. I've had troubles
I don't have Nortons, but I have had shut-down problems.
My home network has a proxy server OS, so on a linked machine if I type in the link bar and hit return the page fails to load, but when I right click and hit reload - it loads OK

i want to roll-back where is version 2.?.?

The list of unnecessary issues norton causes is longer than the list of malware on the world.
