[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 886856, member: 28876"] your review was for 1 day, so i presume you only did one full scan, and in your cons you said the scan was slow. it is slower on the first scan because it has a program insights module that does an analysis of your existing programs and compares it to the Norton user database, rating the risk. i don't think it ever rescans insights programs after they are deemed safe, or if you have allowed riskier ones. so subsequent scans should be a little faster. i don't think I've ever had a false positive with Norton and I've been using it for over 5 years. i may get an insights module warning, that a program isn't used by many in the community, or was recently created, but not a signature-based mistake from the antivirus module.
