I just dumped NIS 2010 for MSE, i got fed up with red outlined warning box's popping up every week saying it had detected and removed "security threats" only to discover it had simply removed a couple of tracking cookies.

Scareware IMO

I was part of the Enhanced Testing Program for 2010 and 2011 and the products have greatly improved over the past few years. They really do listen to feedback and lots of features were introduced or tweaked because of this. The new UI took some time to get used to with all the black and orange, but its very easy to naviagte.

I use to use Norton?s years ago when there wasn?t much choice. The software was bloated and ate your resources. However, I have been reading some good reviews on the latest version, which isn?t bloated and has a small footprint.

However, it will take a lot of convincing for me to change from MSE which is free.

You could have told Norton to remove tracking cookies automatically (and without notifying you) in it's settings.

MSE is good, very good indeed. So there is no reason to switch if you are happy with it. I personally dont use Norton either. But every single computer i set up for Small office or friends i have them to sign up to Norton for 2 years.

As long as they use Firefox / Chrome , and they are behind a router, NIS 2010 serve them very well.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
