Norton Antivirus[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#51)
by Red Rat on Thu Aug 19, 2004 at 01:20:54 PM PDT

Several months back my subscription for Norton AV expired. Based on what I read here and there, I decided not to renew (basically all the hassels with renewal, etc). I put on an old copy of McAfee (4.51 to be exact) since this is our enterprise AV program and we are licensed to use it at home. To my surprise, in the very first scan, McAfee caught 4 virus programs on my computer. I had been running NAV for about 1 year, yet NAV let them through. I am definitely not impressed with NAV when an ancient copy of McAfee catches viruses. Also went back to Zone Alarm and have had fewer problems.
