User Reviews for Symantec Norton Antivirus 2003 (Symantec-10021186)

Reviewed by: regretela

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy to Use

Weaknesses: Slow with the Virus Definitions-A Disaster!!!

Overall Evaluation: The folks at Norton are ASLEEP!!! I download new definitions every day and always have auto protect on. But both my computer at home and here at work carried the W32.Jeefo virus for a month even though I ran virus scans regularly and had auto-protect on. Norton's definition of the W32.Jeefo virus didn't come out until 6/3. McAfee had this virus definition on May 7th!!! By then, when I ran the scan, every file the virus had gotten into during the month that they didn't alert me was destroyed when the file was supposedly "fixed". That was over 800 files on my computer at home, 400 or more at work. I didn't lose documents (Thank God), and the W2K I run on my work computer seems okay, but XP Professional took a hit at home. After trying to fix it for three days I ended up having to reinstall XP and the 65 updates it has now, as well as around 50 programs. I had to reinstall many programs at work as well. You would think Norton would at least check the definitions their competition has come up with. NOT!!! Norton is NOT reliable!!! Be afraid, be very afraid.

Strengths: Norton AV is the best out there, from easy to use, live update (auto update or manual).keeping my computer free from viruses. Norton AV is a must have product to maximum computing experience.

Weaknesses: fairly expensive but the invested dollards invested is worthed.

Overall Evaluation: I would recommend NA to any users (home user or bissness user). Norton never failed me and is your first defence again viruses and trojan horse
