People give me their PCs to clean. All various notebooks and desktops. Besides the
factor I got their PCs because they were infected, those with the various flavours
Norton/Symantec are noticibly hindered by the retail versions. You can see and feel the
OS sluggishness (this includs Norton 360). The sluggishness is not noted on the

David have you personally installed any NAV 2009 /2010 or NIS 2009 /
2010 products yourself? Every reviewer I have read -and- my own
experiences show the old tired "Norton is bloatware" (which is never
supported with data but just a shoot-from-the-hip 'parroting' much like
a Macaw) argument to be baseless since Symantec's 2009 product line

Why are you asking about Symantec AV in a Sophos news group ?

He's right!
F-Secure is OK and hedges out Symantec.
Norton and Symantec are the same and it doesn't matter if it is corporate or retail, they
usethe same signatues.
However the GUI of non corporate versions tend to have the "bloat" problem.

Hi,
My computer have Symantec Norton Antivirus Corporate Version

Virus versus malware is just a detail to the average user. Do your parents

You seem to be confusing "virus" with "malware". MBAM does not address
viruses (except peripherally) and is not a replacement for AV software.
It is best to have *both* available.

Before I had other anti-virus software and my computer was behaving in a way
that I was anything but glad; but I got used to all that. When I installed
MBAM, I thought if cannot be sinply true; if so many viruses are there, how
was my computer able to work? I actually did not know what to do: to delete

That same was with me; I have MBAM too. I could not believe that so many
viruses could be there and turned it off, which turned into disaster. I
still feel that MBAM is overdoing, I cannot believe that even Yahoo or
Google have flaws.
