I just received a friendly reminder from Norton Antivirus 2006 to renew my subscription. However, it also included a record of all the viruses its prevented...I was appauled/immpressed.

Heh, that's not entirely true. Those are all the virus it has the ability to prevent, not the amount of attacks your computer has had. It is a marketing tool, and it seems to have worked :P

What he said. Norton is crap. Get rid of it and download Avast! Do a scan of your computer right afterwards. Don't be surprised if it finds stuff that Norton missed.

Agree. Use avast! - the best antivirus ever. Norton is pretty useless nowadays. In fact, it slows down your computer. ( or maybe just my pc?)
 
I have used norton, but only because I have free access to corporate edition. But in the build I have in my sig I don't use it even though I could for free! It hogs some system resources and like to update and be generally annoying from time to time. I use AVG now, its free.

i also use avg and find it quite nice but ive also used avast! and its pretty good too
 
Save yourself the money and switch to AVG or Avast! I'm thinking of switching to Avast! from AVG because AVG is starting to tick me off with it's constant updates...
 
Turn them off...

scheduler > edit schedule > uncheck peridoic updates or set to when you want it too..

Yep
Norton slowed down a computer slow bad i almost felt like smashing it to bits but i figured it would be a waist. Reinstalled windows used avast instead and its fine. But the best option is to use linux. It doesn't have any virus protection because it doesn't get any viruses. Just don't renew norton.
