I have been with computers for the last 10 years & I am still using them at my office though on a much sober level of usage.
I first had a Pentium 166 MMX (the firsst pentiums to arrive I guess), had a 32 MB Ram & all the usual stuff available at that time. Software was the same old usual junk that any end user would have preinstalled.
One of them was Norton Antivirus.
Then I downgraded(it was a temporary switch with a friend) to an IBM Cyrix CPU with the same ram & stuff. Software....same as usual.
One of them was Norton Antivirus.
Then again I went back to a pentium. Dont remember much about that system coz it was with me for a very short period.
Again there was this Norton Antivirus.
Now I have a Pentium 4 with 256 MB SD Ram & the usual stuff.
Still there is this Norton Antivirus.
Thers been only one thing in common in all the comps that ive had with me & thats the Norton Antivirus Software.
A good, versatile, trustworthy piece software that Symantec Corp. has come up with.
Like any software progrm it has its own set of bugs, weakness, security holes & limitations. But it is still trustworthy.
One thing I hate about NAV is it is terribly resource hungry. Many a times i’ve seen my comp freeze when NAV is loading. Except for that NAV is real cool.
The automatic liveupdate feature is a charm. The realtime scan is a convenience.
The software as a whole works for you & not the other way round.
The online tools available with symantec are a great use too.
