That was supposed to be comments against norton but among the Anti
virus recently tested it was the one that did not exhibit a single
false positives which other antivirus wares including AV did.
Think about it an innocent files to be considered malicious?...
I think Norton has a better quality control than the other AV wares.


Might I suggest that you actually read a little more into what was
written -
and what's written elsewhere - about Norton, and the particular
version of
Norton, before commenting??

WHICH EXACT review did you read that so glowingly reported NAV? (how
much
was the editor/magazine paid for advertising in that issue by
Symantec??)

WHICH EXACT version of Norton was so glowingly reviewed?
WHICH EXACT PC was running that Norton?
could it actually run anything else (significant) at the same time???
would it withstand a System Restore without having to rebuild the
system
(like you always have top after using NAV?)
....... complete after me

Well put! If Symantec put as much effort into making sure that their
products worked better as they do in making sure that copies are
legitimate then I wouldn't hold their newer products in such disregard.
For example, constant updates of LiveReg.

I've used just about every version of NAV from 2.0 up to 2002 and tried
2003 & 2004. With NAV 2003 Symantec started a new program verification
scheme that added nothing to functionality except bloatware. I went back
to 2002 which I found was being continually updated with the functional
improvements added in the later versions without the garbage.

I'm running NOD32 on my PCs that connect to the net and F-Prot on the
others just to have some protection against something on my network. I'd
run NOD32 on all of them but their licensing is a little steep for
multiple users.
