Norton is actually a nuisance.I prefer Kaspersky anti virus.It is good.But it's firewall is not good.For firewall i use Zone alarm.Norton and kaspersky will not react to the spywares.I do not remember but i think that zone alarm has spyware security

Defender Pro 5 in 1 is a good choice. You download updates for the virus definitions regularly like you do with Norton, but they also have an antispyware program, plus utilities to clean up your computer and keep it in top running condition. I purchased my copy of the program from Wal-Mart for around $20, and it included a 1 year subscription to the service.

Personally i believe norton sucks! Use some other suite, mcafee, avg, anything but norton!

I've used Norton for one day and I found it totally sucks! It runs so slow and can not protect my computer at all! And my friends don't like Norton, either. To be honestly, I don't heard that who like Norton for these 2 years. YaxEid, why don't you try McAFee, it's totoaly, and it runs well on my taplop for a long time. Any way, have a nice day!
