Since 1999 I’ve been using and recommending Norton in my offices with more than 10000 employees , till 01 oct 2014. Reasons for this change :
- I use Norton Antivirus only as firewall reviews were not good in GRC tests. Firewall in windows 8.1 is at number 1 in performance . Why are you imposing firewall now.
- There’s no Norton Antivirus product as standalone , looking at the future.
- If I disable the antispam ( which is hardly of any use in outlook ) and firewall components , there’s a big X to the security. Why to enforce something which one doesnt need and then you want full payments ( by being loyal doesnt mean - ignorant ).
Does firewall component uses windows firewall ? If not then how does it perform vis a vis windows firewall ?
I installed Norton Security and uninstalled it just for this reason . Back to 2014 AV till my years subscription ends. Started exploring new products like Qihoo now.
