bloated software. Need I say more? How many of these programs do you really need. Even more, how much of it drains down the system resources. Norton is and has always been notorious for using up to many resources. The 2nd thing is, I want to see in this review hardcore firewall testing, spyware testing and anti-virus testing. Unless you can provide real world testing environment, I would still stay away from it. I have heard many thing from customers complain about how norton did nothing to protect their system. Among the antivirus alone does not provide top notch protection.

Now norton firewall on the other hand I've heard plenty of issues as well. The main problem with this is I've had numerous of customers have their Internet totally shut off and cut off by Norton. THe hard part about resolving this issue is that the customer or consumer does not know how to fix this. When these issues arise they are left in the dark of what to do unless they contact symantec.

Norton Ghost has gotten better but it is still confusing on aspects and some in depth documentation could add better explainations. I do not consider it the best. Although, Acronis TrueImage and Paragon Drive Image programs are two that should be looked at.

The review here lacks deep and in depth scanning validity of the program itself in all aspects of the program. But all I read here is how easy it is, how cool it looks and how user friendly norton is trying to be. I can careless about that. I want to know how it affects the system, how well it protects the system. You have to admit, Symantec has left alot of bad taste in my mouth, including mine.

This is how I see it, you don't have to agree because I simply wont care.

What is this "Review of the Week" on the front page when the review is almost a year old? At the moment 360 2.0 is in beta and is slated to be released next month.

EDIT: Nevermind, it appears to have disappeared off the front page now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
