Norton AntiVirus 2004 review

Thursday 29 January 2004, 2:56 AM

Not worth the paper the box is made of


This product has destroyed functionality on several clients' computers. Have advised all to insist on getting their money back. Worst piece of software I have seen in a long long time. Absolute junk. Colleagues have found similar problems with their clients. Cannot recommend this product in any way.

Rating: 7.8
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

£ 44

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
