w-what's so bad about Norton?
Chris72003:
Alright, firstly: I have a paid Norton subscription and it seems bretty good in the 3 years I've had it. All viruses that've slowed my computer have been killed by Norton. So, I'm wondering, WHY IS NORTON STILL GETTING HATE? why does Norton get so much hate? Are there secret viruses that are easily passing Norton's scanners? Discuss, por favor.
Master Matthew²:
Because Norton Backwards ot NotRon which sounds like Not Run, which means don't run it.
lordician:
As far as i know, Norton is probably one of the better ones buuuuuut since it does so well, eats a lot of resources which can kill performance in games and other resource heavy applications.
Aside of that, it is not free and you know how stingy people can be sometimes.
I say this running AVG free, the irony is not completely lost.

not all viruses are super noticeable, and yes, there were complaints that Norton's databases are not up to par with other AV services, meaning that newer viruses could exist on your system and Norton would fail to detect them. not sure if this is still the case

Norton deletes stuff it doesn't recognize as safe
