Norton Antivirus Vs Nod 32 - Software

If you haven
Norton Antivirus Vs Nod 32

I was a die hard McAfee fan for years. In the interim, I have used that, AVG, Kapersky, Nod32,Avast, CA, Webroot, and Norton.  I recently contracted something and went through the above list and of all of them, the trojan eluded them all except Norton AntiVirus 2009.  I have been using it most of the year and I used to hate it because it hooked into your whole system. That is NO LONGER THE CASE. The program installs fast, uses little resources, and sets you for maximum protection with little intrusions in the way of popups alerting you of things.

I just recently downloaded a trial of Norton 360 to my daughter's computer using my credentials, and to my surprise, I received a 366 day subscription free of charge (customer loyalty or something). At any rate, it found the infection on her computer after Qwest OneCare failed to detect it and after Avast allowed her to get the infection in the first place.

All I am saying is, try the trial of Norton 360 and run a FULL SCAN on your computer. When I did that, I was surprised at what McAfee had left behind. Even DVDs and CDs I had burned while using McAfee were infected with trojans that upon insertion in to my now Norton protected system, Norton detected the viruses, the files they were in, and I was able to remove those infections from my hard drive then re-burn the cds/dvds that had been infected and undetected while using McAfee, Nod32 and the others.

I used to be a die hard fan of Norton Antivirus after my first pc crash in during my college days. I was having a P II machine then with a new 540 MB hard disk and my pc got infected with a virus I still don't know what, but it was a virus for sure, which left me high and dry with almost one month's project work lost. Norton did protect me in the rest of the days of my project and then upto more than six years later. In 2006 I started using other antivirus programs, most of which were pirated or coppied ones, untill I settled for Nod32 about a year and a half age. After which it is Nod32 and nothing else. The reason was for the new OS Vista Nod32 came as an early entrant and was wonderfully lite on the machine that I own today. Now with Wndows 7 I am still using Nod32 coz it is lite and is awfully fast and as for Norton it has turned out to be a big resource hogger.

The same thing is happening with Nero, a vastly popular and handy C/DVD burning software is turning out to be too heavy on machines, and now much better and elaborate techniques with better performane is available many free of cost, better than Nero a few times in performance.

I think Nod32 is much better than Norton Antivirus. Not to leave far behind is Kaspersky being a good virus derector and cleaner.

I was once told that Norton create virus type codes that hackers counter use against Computer systems, Nod 32 is a trusted third party software that is trusted. I use it my slef

I used both and both of them are crap. Norton's too much of a system hog and nod32 did nothing to stop my pc getting infected by trojans.
