I have used norton antivirus in corporate network over 10000 users. norton is not the best, it has several problem with spyware detection and new virus detection (specially for trozan horse). almost 80% of laptops have problem with spyware and trozans. although program and virus pattern file is latest it was unable to detect.
A new virus came and it will detect after 4-5 days always ,where kaspersky detect within some hours or 1 day after virus release.
also norton has issue with firewall, it is not intelligent self learning one.
I have submitted several new virus samples to norton but detections came some days after. where kaspersky respond with solution within 2 hours, great service.
norton has problem with generic and heuristic scan, generates so many false alarms.
and so on problems with norton.
there in another setup with kaspersky. infection rate is 0% for over a year. robust protection , very high detection rate. very few false alarm, system tuning for better protection. fast customer support response, we just love this product.
Conclusion – don’t just go by names. think twice before buying norton. use kaspersky internet security or kaspersky pure. you will never regret. do a market research you will find the truth about norton..
