[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 232822"] the whole debate is a bit worthless, 1- it is a beta, 2- it is in a VM (i guess) , 3- the leftovers are just from the chinese software packed with the malware, the malware itself seems to be neutralized, 4- who care of an web filter component (hyped slowdowning useless feature) since a malware to infect you, must pass by the memory which is guarded by NIS the test was informative to reveal what will be the final release, but for real critics about its behavior, we have to wait it. NIS overall security and performance are far better than earlier versions, some features should not be here in my opinion (most of the tools) but business is business , if customers ask for it, give it to them. NIS since some years focuses on prevention rather than detection, and this is the best approach. remember that Norton is the home user branch made for Average Joe , products set to be hassle-free out of the box; in sacrifice of some degree of protection; you want more , just configure it to max and if you want true T-Rex protection , go to Symantec and endpoint versions. now about the debate both Koroke and N.nvt made some points; - Koroke is right when he said NIS can be replaced by other tools, free or not (this is true for every product), but here we talk about NIS and not other softs. - he was also right about common sense (i hate this word) , but here common sense is offtopic since it is a malware test. if common sense was supposed to be used, the malware can't even be allowed to pass UAC. - he is partially right and wrong about NIS lacking web filter; indeed NIS doesn't have a visible distinct "Web Filter" like eset or webroot , but the association of all its components act as one. - N.nvt knows a lot about Symantec & Norton products , he use them in its job; so i didn't see any mistakes from him. Now about people bashing:criticizing NIS: - most of them expect things from NIS that it isn't supposed to do - they have most of them few knwoledge about what and how a security soft is supposed to work - their system is bloated with dozen of crap softs,with services working in realtime and when NIS (or other security soft) is installed, it is slowdowned because it has to monitor all those craps. - some are just haters, happy clickers, etc...
