Had it installed since last Friday. Small footprint yet again and IMO, scanning rates have gotten even faster (Y)

You use a Mac right?

I get Norton AV free through Comcast and I've been very impressed with it's size/speed. A long ways from the bloatware it was a couple years ago.

[COKid]

I use MSE, but Norton has definitely been improved in recent years. I just can't see paying for an anti-malware product anymore.

I have a Mac and a PC.

2009 was faster then 2010, Although 2010 was more powerful.

Now 2011 is 2009 or faster but with more features!.

From Bloat to Great............

Does it still have that hideous UI from 2010?

[zerokool316]

why is it that i just updated mine, and instead of giving me the english version it gave me the spanish version

^ What it looks like now.

[zerokool316]

can anybody help me figure out how to change the language back to english on this thing?

[Adam1V]

i just cant bring myself to use any of their security products, not just because of the recent bloatware editions, but because of how far it embeds itself into the OS.

This is the same reason I've moved away from Panda and AVG.

Nod32 all the way.

Norton has improved a lot recently. Might give this a spin when it becomes available to all.

The subscription based software its what kill in my opinion the use of Norton. Why pay annually for an antivirus when you can have it for free with MSE?

[zerokool316]

ok for some odd reason my norton 2010 when i clicked check for update it took me to the spain version site of it, everything was in english until it started to install then it switched to spanish wtf, now how can i switch the language on this thing back to english?

Yep, plus for the average consumer, if they are a moron they will get infected regardless of what they are running for AV, so why should they pay for one?

[bjoswald]

New UI looks amazing and I'm glad they finally fixed the memory/resource consumption. However, I can't justify paying for AV these days. There's so many free alternatives that do a damn good job for no more than what us homeowners need.

[svnO.o]

Using MSE myself but have heard from my Dad (who is an IT guy) that recent versions of Norton IS/AV are quite good now.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

Looks better, but I can't pay for anti virus or malware anymore, knowing there is free alternatives.

Norton have a lot more features.

[Growled Member]

I am now playing with 2010. I like it a lot. I just might buy it and do an update.

[RadishTM Veteran]

Norton have a lot more features.

I'm liking their own recovery tools. Power eraser is similar to MalwareBytes etc .... And for a beta it's pretty decent. Haven't tried the bootable recovery tool yet.

[iwod]

Well because none of the free version is as good as some of the paid ones?

True, I prefer MSE for the basic security protection than pay for an antivirus software for extra features that I will probably never going to use. Now, in a business environment, Norton extra features it's worthy.
