Norton AntiVirus 2004 review

Monday 1 December 2003, 6:44 PM

My machine ground to a halt with this!


Can you please test software with 'average' hardware, as well as latest spec...

I have been using Sophos and Zone Alarm Pro on my Compaq armada m700 (PIII 850MHz) for a couple of years with NO problems, but when I left the company I bought the laptop and installed Norton Internet Security 2004. The machine has ground to a halt... it takes 4 minutes to start, and seems slow even running Office.. I also HATE the fact that the install notes say: "Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) scan subscribers' computers to see if they are running Web or FTP servers. This may trigger the AutoBlock feature and prevent you from accessing the Internet." THATS IT! NO advice how to get round it -- so you buy a product for safe surfing and it prevents you getting on the Internet? MAD!

Verdict

NAV 2004 is still a good choice for first timers, but its minor improvements mean that NAV 2003 users need not upgrade.

Typical price
