I used Norton for years until I discovered products that performed as well as but usually BETTER than Norton and they were free.

Answer 3

If you have Norton I would recommend you to get rid of it and get something better like Etrust, normally Norton gives you all kind of problems and at the end your system is vulnerable to hackers and trojans, I believe Etrust gives you security for one year free then you pay thereafter, that's the one I have, it's good..☺

Answer 4

i could say Norton; too; ut the difficulty is that as quickly because it is scanning it has a tendency to decelerate ur computing device.. the Mc Afee is likewise stable yet makes it much less sluggish. individually i exploit Kaspersky internet secure practices and abode comp style Micro and the two one in each of them are extremely extremely stable

Answer 5

Call your technician and ask him...and by the way. Norton Internet security SUCKS. It is a huge resource hog. If you use caution when browsing the net and downloading files, you do not need that crap.
