Free (after rebate) Norton 360 v5 3PCs.

- Start date
Again, Norton is one of the best "performance" wise nowadays. It's not a product that they had 3 years ago. Refer to this: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/performance/performance_nov_2011.pdf
In any case, my intention was not to debate about free vs. commercial AVs, but to share some deals with you, guys. I ain't pushing commercial antiviruses to no one.
After looking at this forum, I went to find AVG. Before the tune up I had 4000+ problems on my comp. now I only have 12.
Short report.
Have been running Norton Internet Security 2012 for 2 days now for testing purposes.
First of all, my i7-950 shows 2% of load during the Full System Scan, whereas Trend Micro loaded up my CPU up to 12% and ESET was utilizing 7%.
Secondly, it seems like Symantec is trying to run Quick Scans every moment it notices that PC is in idle state:
Here is CPU usage in normal Symantec's operation:
What I like most of all is Symantec's full integration with Chrome. It is freaking extremely convenient. Safe Web tool lets you check the website and Identity Safe tool saves all your passwords/logins in encrypted files:
Summary: I'm satisfied with Norton so far and most likely will proceed with their IS 2012 or 360 product.

True on that. "Registry tune-up" is the most retarded and dangerous thing I've ever heard. It should be done manually if you fucking know what you're doing.
That is actually what stops me from installing Norton 360. All those tune-up crap and online backup are useless and just take additional space/resources. Norton IS 2012 doesn't have these "tools" and it's better in malware detection.
I have a anti virus on my mac but it never ever found something and I never heard that there are viruses actually for mac but Psycho wrote earlier that a lot of viruses now target macs so it makes sense that Norton brought out a Mac version. Where there is no market you just create one.
It just depends what you pirate I guess and where you pirate.
The porting team is my favorite source for software which for some reason doesn't get published for Mac. Never ever had trouble with their software and usually a port is out after a few days after the the windows release. It's great and free (donating helps them out)
And I agree that the Piratebay is not to be trusted but it symbolizes piracy. In Italy without VPN you can't even open the main page of the Piratepay. A court ruled that some months ago..

God Bless. eMule was successfully surpressed. Now it's P2P time.
PS. I'm drunk: what was the name of this service that got fucked up by the government back in late 90s? Net... Ne...
What do you mean by "having Norton 360 codes"? You've gotten source code? Or you've just gotten an available copy?
