Serious Chatter · 10-14-2007, 06:58 PM

HI all,
just seems to me there are more reported problems with sp2 and norton, or norton missing viruses, or norton freezing up a system, or norton slowing it down with its hoggish activities.let me hear from the security team your opinion about norton.i personally hate it, but let me hear it from the horses mouth [ no pun intended, horse ].share your view here guys..and tel me more about norton..
Thanks a lot

Norton Isn't missing any viruses its because in these days Viruses now come in RootKits making viruses look like something they are not. Norton and other antivirus programs cant detect rootkit viruses thats why so many people get infected even with a antivirus on.

I highly doubt he's not, because I've sent him a few PM's, and asked questions in his thread, but never got a response.
