Hi, Britton,

 

Thanks for sticking up for Norton Internet Security, and for Symantec Products ("Norton by Symantec").  Symantec have done an excellent job in the last few years with the Software; in fact, Symantec re-wrote the Software, and this is why it is so light on the system.

Edit:

 

And the Detection Rate is excellent, as I'm sure you're aware of.  Saw a Message in the Norton Forums by one of the Security Response guys, and he stated that Norton/Symantec Products Detect 99.9% of Intrusion Attempts/Threats on Computer.

 

It is so frustrating that some people keep saying how rubbish Norton is, when the last time they used one was about five years' ago.

Turns out this Noel character is an opinionated Brit whose opinion is the only fact.

Re: A Norton hater

Haters gonna hate. His opinion might have came from the norton of a few years ago. Norton of today is Way better. Not bloated but light on system resources.
