Too bad Nod32 FAILS so many in-the-wild tests. Go to Virus Bulletin and check their history.
All you guys that claim speed and performance gains are sacrificing SECURITY. HELLO. POOR SECURITY = INCREASED RISK AND EXPOSURE. Take your chances. I'll stick with something I know works. And Norton has been protecting me for years.
I have also not had the terrible, horrible performance issues you all claim. Certainly during heavy scans there is a big hit, otherwise reatltime scan is actually quite good.
Funny, Trend calls Symantec uninstaller (uninstallshield) so I'm not sure how that's possible.
SAV has always set the bar. Spyware, Tamper protections, email heuristics. These are all innovative concepts that other vendors have copied.
The only thing Trend is known for of late is problems - April 25th pattern update for example that slowed down 1000's of systems - 99% CPU utilization.
Yeah buddy, I want to put that on MY server.:-)
Again, you guys are supposed to be techies - yet you aren't aware of Trend's problems? They have worse QA problems than anyone. Since when should a virus definition update take down your computer. Seems it happened to thousands of systems in April.
Poor, Poor choice to go with Trend.
At least keep your $$ in the USA.
Actually, I have not seen this. I have run Symantec for years. I am a consultant and find that most people never clean up their systems...that's what really leads to problems.
But of course, blame the vendor. I bet half of the people bitching on this board are running an illegal copy of Norton/SAV anyway.
Hahaha...and if you do SOME RESEARCH, their updates bring your system to a HALT. See April pattern update that took out a good chunk of ASIA. Yeah, THERE'S a WINNER.
Come on folks, quit crying. There is no perfect software. Never will be.
You have to test, and if there are issues demand fixes.
Symantec actually is far more innovative than most companies, and maybe that's part of the problem. But, your dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.
I'd be more inclined to think that if some of you cleaned up your systems you wouldn't have these performance issues.
Whiners.

Nice try. It's a paid site now. You have to differentiate between in the wild tests and unknown tests. Do some research before you post crap.
Hmm... do a history and check the stats. NOD32 is an immitator. But you will learn. Have fun.
