[QUOTE="Nico@FMA, post: 232310, member: 8154"] Yes Norton can block a URL and block the executable from being executed IF and only IF you configured your configuration in such way. On top of that Norton insight is asking if you want to download a file and tells you in 9 out of 10 times that it might be malicious. The infected executable is NOT going to infect your system if you click NO. So the users in the tests clicked YES which means you disregarded the warning and have canceled the block. Does that make Norton look bad? If you failed to follow their advise? So its a "operator" error and mistake and NOT Nortons mistake. LOL thats because people do not have brains and fail to understand / use it. (harshly said) Or did you forgot my guide about : [B]Your Mouse Click Matters.[/B] And the only reason why Norton is falling apart is because of the workload and stress upon the product...afteral who would not fall apart if it has to work on a system with a OS that has not been updated since the stone age and where a configuration is running on the system configured by the user himself that could be considered as a malware itself. Just saying if you keep your ABC's in check Norton (or any similar) product will do a great job in keeping you clean. But do not blame Norton for something the user did.. [/QUOTE]
