I was just wondering what everyone thought of Norton Systemworks 2004 and Norton internet secturity. Norton products worked on our old pentuim 2 pretty well, so just trying to figure out if they have stayed with their reliablity.

I have Norton and have not been real impressed with it myself. It seems to not catch alot of the tojans. So I usually run a scan using one of the free virus checkers along with using Norton.

According to a recent magazine test, Kaspersky lab, and Steganos, are the best to have, norton was quite low on the list. AVG came out better and that is free to download. I use the free one you get with virgin broadband, and do a scan every so often with AVG.

I did use Norton 2006 but found it was a bit of a system hog, but that depends on your PC resources.
