If you mean rank 3 of a software that will not let you install certain legit and bought programs due to false alarms, not to mentions totally blocks your computer if you are not running THEIR software for all areas then yes norton takes the cake.

It will literally tell you that your system is infected by a virus if you are trying to install a firewall that's not connected to the synmatic company. It eats up way to many resources for what it does and that's just the top of the iceberg.

The soul fact that Panda antivirus is on place 4 in that list you posted should tell you how bogus that list is to begin with.



well I am just saying I never has problems with nis09
it protected my pc for da past 2 years and I usewd to download all sorts of illegal stuff and put pirated cds but norton never let me down
+ I never got false alarms and there was no chance of me opening da virus file as it checked it first

And that link was just a random link I found
feel free to post your own
I guarantee you norton will never be last

and I had so much faith in norton that used to download viruses eyes closed I mean separate virus files which were made by hackers and friends

norton destroyed it all

hm, well I you so sure, I can tell you, you can't met with all kind of viruses..
but if you so sure Norton is that strong, than open all junk mail from unknow peoples, and tadaaam, a brand new super hacker virus, and its delete all you're HDD files and you can't shut down or restart, and this delete process is so fast and you can't stop it, even the all mighty antivir programs can't stop it, microsfot told that.

so, pirated keygens and patches can't start a rather interesting conversation with you're computer, viruses not say hello if they kill or clone files on your computer and those happy emails destroy every single file of your and maybe your hardware to.

I used Norton up till 2006 and panda from 2006 till 2008. I never had any virus problems, even the half year when I had no antivirus. Guess what. If you doublecheck what you visit and download, then you won't get a virus. it's that simple.

And so far Avast is the only one I tried that has not disappointed me. Panda was total trash, AVG and norton were both to heavy for my computer at that time. They consumed to many resources, where avast did the same amount of work with a lot smaller resource consumption.

But I did search a bit and it would seem that norton managed to fix the majority of its "Compatibility" issues. So I'm guessing you can install a third party firewall like Zone Alarm, without norton telling you to either choose between Snymatic firewall or Zone Alarm.

They still have some such issues and you still can't really remove the thing entirely, except by formating the HDD. I couldn't find a somparison about resource use, but these days I'm guessing it isn't such an issue with 8GB RAM PCs and the like. But it was an issue back in 2006 when half of your 1GB RAM was beeing taken up by norton, poping up alerts on every slam google search you made.

Wrong. that's no excuse. There are other antivirus programs out there, that do the same quality work with only a fraction of the resources needed by norton with no silly "incompatibilities" between itself and other softwares. Not to mention as said before you still can't uninstall norton fully. Itll leave traces of itself, that may prevent you from installing a different antivirus. If I have an antivirus, I want it to remove programs that eat up my resources, not have the slam thing be using them up like that.

If you must go into this, then get nod its a lot better when you compare all its functions and consumption. But fact is. If you are visiting lots of X rated sites and stuff like that, then no antivirus is secure. Get linux for that as there are no viruses for linux.

Avast has yet to disappoint me in that regard. NOD and AVG also don't have that problem. NOD especially is low performance cost with AVG using up slightly more than avast. I grade programs on their efficiency in all regards. Performance being one of them. And that's nortons huge negative. Especially since you don't need an anti virus anyhow. If you know what you are doing, you are safe. If you don't know what you are doing, then your anti virus will only postpone the infection of your system.

Long ago I got a virus.
This virus is eat up the memory in 15 minute, so after login+15 minute I can't moved the mouse or use keyboard because its fully froozed..becomed more and more laggy.

So I tried those antivirs for kill the virus:

Norton Internet Security 2009 + updated + options/maximum protection & virus kill

Norton not finded any virus...


Panda Internet Security 2009 + updated + options/maximum protection & virus kill

Panda to..


Avast Internet Security 2009 + updated + options/maximum protection & virus kill

Avast to..


Nod Smart Security 2009 + updated + options/maximum protection & virus kill

Nod finded the virus, but can't kill it..


Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 + updated + options/maximum protection & virus kill

Kaspersky finded the virus, but can't kill it..


AVG Internet Security 7 + AVG Antivir+AntiSpyware 7

Its a bit old version of AVG, but..hahaha..AVG 7 finded the virus and kill it!


After that I used AVG 7...than AVG 8...than AVG 9...and now, AVG 2011 ^-^ and I don't had any virus more than 2 year, and I'm also torrenting etc..


of course I tried some antispyware killer program to but those are uuseless like some antivir..

so if you think most of those things can kill a real virus Very Happy well give it a try

Thanks for all your concern guys!
But that virus was a tricky one to remove. I finally found out how it works.

I was puzzled because there was no process for the virus and yet my computer was infected. Then I used unlocker to see what processes had locked my HDs. Then I came to a conclusion that the virus can inject itself into any process it wants............

At last I used KIS 2011 but it got infected too... It didn't work! It wouldn't even open.

So, I backed up my files using a cleaver trick I.e. putting the files in an archive and directly creating the archive in an external hard drive..
Then I formatted my PC. Restored my bakups and then scanned the computer before opening any other files using KIS. It found the virus and killed it!!! Problem solved!
