well not norton, symantec endpoint, so close. Thankfully, this version has option to restore files out of quarantine with just one click =) yay.

whats wrong with norton? I've been using symantec since i was a wee lad. have this loyalty to it, can you reccoment anything else? Anyone tried this panda thing? apparantly its a cloud anti-virus... however that works...

Let me say something what happennes in my life: imagine 7 companies (let's say i'm helping them to work...) with 16 pcs (+6 mac but we don't talk about it here... ). For 1 year they all crying that they have many many many viruses after full check. Why?... because of some Panda and drweb antivirus.... they're not good at all... norton?... ehm.. it's lil bit old for present days... I know only 2 really good avs: KAV\KIS and NOD... they're getting almost all shit from web... so after installing this avs they don't have now many many many viruses but have a lil viruses... :P

haha, reminds me of that episode of IT crowd, where the laptop has like 30 pop ups on the screen and the chick thinks its fine. =)

I really dont realistically need an antivirus, im generally aware of what im installing, i just have it just in case, don't really rely on it. And symantec corporate ones seem to be the least intrusive, they just chug along in the background.

if you loste all, next time.

creates a folder and then created a rule in your anti virus software and exclude this folder to scan and protect

use it then after zip your crack delete de original one.

and after if you want do a system check (anti-virus) to prevent infection such as a trojan ect ect

Norton has improved much during the last two releases and doesn't take as much system resources as before. Comodo Internet Security is free, yes really free and and works since two month without any problems. It also has a sandbox mode and you can get Try this one.

ok thanks peeps, Comodo sounds cool with its own sandbox.

I'll see how it goes.
