Dear Community,
I am using your products since many years but now I have to admit that I am a bid upset about how your company has in my eyes changed over the years.
There was a time where a tool named Norton Commander was my daily basis for any work with a computer and your company was reflecting very much the spirit of the net, however, I see now that your company mutated quite a bid
- I got a Trojan named Trojan.Win32.Nebuler, Norton is the only Antivirus Software which could not detect it, not the scans in sharpest heuristic mode, no file insight, nothing, threatexpert found it for eg, and that is a free tool, of course your power eraser noticed something, but that is a free tool...(the power erase could not remove it, i had to spend half a day to figure out how to get this crap myselves out of the system)
- I got virtumonde on my computer, Norton does not detect it, only spybot S&D, and that is a free tool.
- My girlfriends computer got a very nasty adware, Norton does not detect it or has no problem with it, only spybot S&D, and that is a free tool.
- Norton had a very effective ad-blocker, now its gone (with 2009 or 2010, i don't remember), i had 0 problems during its use, and i was of great value to me, what interest was behind that it is gone now?
- Norton had a nice family control, i used it and with the upgrade to NIS 2011 all settings were gone and your new family control "stores connection data in the USA" and i immediately removed it, i don't want my connection data stored in the USA.
Is that the way Norton is heading too? I have to admit that NIS got cheaper, but lost much more in value to me. The simple effect that this blue screen with white letters from the Norton Commander is probably still burned deep in my memory kept me after your 2009 version to keep on subscribing, but..
Please help me out, because this is the first time in felt decades that i am questioning what i am operating on my computer,
All the best and a hapy new year,
