Norton claims that nothing comes close to Norton whether it is a competitor product or threat. I beg to differ as it is totally rubbish. It might be true to some extend especially the recently completed AV-Comparatives Dynamic Test, both NIS 2010 and KIS 2010 grab the first place. Too bad Norton have to share the top spot with Kaspersky. I really didn't expect that of Norton.
However having tried NIS 2010, I wasn't very please with it. Let me reveal a little test I did. During scanning, NIS 2010 took a wooping ~250+mb of RAM! That is a lot! Not only that. It couldn't detect the 2 url with drive-by-download. In addition, Norton likes to take its own action (deleting so-call threats without asking user permission) but I do not like my security to take its own action!
A quote from Vincent Steckler, Avast! CEO
So, I decide to proceed and check another site; an American site this time. But, just as I start typing the address into the browser, my N360 starts alerting that its antispyware and AV capabilities have been shutdown…..presumably by the infections loaded by one or both of those two dirty websites I had browsed to a minute earlier. So rather than continue the test I must now shutdown the N360 machine and clean it with Avast…..
N360 is Norton Security 360.
In my opinion, I wouldn't install Norton on my PC at all. In the end, it is up to you. If you are comfortable with Norton, by all means install it and enjoy my gift.
