Norton antibot

What is your opinion on Norton Antibot? Do you think it is needed?

Do you use it?

Hi Stu,

 

I think it's not needed. A good virus scanner should do Antibots work.

Don't you think it is a great addition to the regular Norton products?

Re: Norton antibot

No,

 

in my opinion the Antibot application has to be embedded in Norton AV/IS . A separate software is in my eyes unnecessary.

Aha
That's another question. But you think it should be added into the regular products?

Re: Norton antibot

Yes, that's right. A antibot module would be nice. I see it in my market. The customer are not interested in AntiBot as standalone program.

Re: Norton antibot

Yes, right too.

 

Other competitors have AntiBot functions embedded in their security suites.

Re: Norton antibot

If you don't want to pay for AntiBot, get Threatfire free from PCTools. Same essential function at no cost.
