Norman Antivirus

When I bought my computer, I got a 1 year license for Norman Antivirus. But it recently found my system backups as trojans and deleted them. What i want to know, is Norman any good?

It's Norton, not Norman.Norton is fine if you can fork out the cash for it.

No.The years that we had it, it wouldn't do it's job like they said it would...
So I went to avast and I actually found 20 viri on the computer. :PNow I don't have any because I'm more computer knowledgeable and the such.

Huh...I guess Norman is an anti-virus. :PI would go with either Avast! or Comodo Firewall and Internet Security.
I use Avast Anti-Virus, Comodo Firewall, and Spybot Search and Destroy.

Hypnos uses ESET. I'll try that. Thanks alot.

You have to pay for that...The ones I listed are all free. :P

But are they really good?

Ah. Sorry about that, I've never heard of Norman Anti-Virus. It sounds like a Norton copy if you ask me.

Stanley Richards · #8But are they really good?

Yes they're very good. :)
I haven't had a virus, but I watch where I go and stuff.

It DOES sound like a Norton copy. But it has a golden robot similiar to ESET's robot.

Then i'll try that then. Free is always better for me.

I use ESET I find it is good, I had Norton and I used a free scanner plenty of viruses Norton missed

[me=hYpNoS]doesn't pay for his[/me]Torrents are useful things...

I really don't trust Torrents. They can track your IP address from what I've heard.

But aren't torrents worse?

Always read comments on torrents, if one says 'IT'S TRACKED" or something about fbi, don't download.

no. they're the safest form of peer 2 peer in existance.

In my experience, NORTON is not a real antivirus, un my opinion this is a sotfware that acts like a virus, uses a lot of ram, always is using a lot of CPU just for nothing, and in the time I used this, never found the viruses in my machine.Since then, I use AGV, and I never had troubles with it, is free, easy to use and don't slow your pc like NORTON or MCAFEE
Other that I know is good is Avira, or MxOne that is the best on preventing viruses from your USB devices.Another option is deleting the viruses directly from your computer and USBs, but it requires time to know exactly what virus is, and search how to delete it.By the way, in my house I have installed Kubuntu (a version of linux with KDE as window manager) because there is very few viruses for this OS, and is very rare to be infected. And have Win7, but is very very strange that I use it.
