Just as good..ya right...i had Norton 2003 and was quite satisfied with it...then i up graded to Norton2004...it"s no longer installed on my PC and it took a bit to unistall it to..it"s not only over bloated and way over rated but the tech support is ridiculous...you even have to pay them for over the phone tech support with a paid subscription...ever heard of any one else doing that.. i now use Nod32...Norton can"t even come close to it...but that is only my opinion :D

Well, We can't call for Tech support with pirated software and there really is no need for tech support all u have to do is read. Norton is just as good just keep your definitions up to date and run a full system scan on your comp about every week or so.

Also, ziggy what do u mean it doesn't work for u, What doesn't work.

well it"s nice to know if you ever need tech support it is there for the use of it....but not when you have to pay for it :D After all some people actually purchased Norton crap :lol: sure keep your definitions up,but thats another problem with Norton...NOD32 updates daily...christ even people with AVG(free)get daily updates sometimes twice a day...whats Norton once a week?i have tried many AV"s fee versions and paid versions...and Norton is just plain crap to politely put it :) ...Nod32 was well worth the money...i now have an AV that does as advertised to do...low resourses...fast scan..excellent detection...daily updates B)...Norton used to take 28 minutes to do a scan...NOD32 takes 4minutes and 28 seconds ;)
