App Review Norton Internet Security 2014 (Manzaitest)

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Norton has an excellent rate in the test.
No malware in the end, everything was stopped.

Thank-you :) I set Kaspersky up like Comodo, their application control set at untrusted, but it can block other files, but I'd rather have that then get infected ;)

Great review. Sadly I never liked Norton . It used to slow my system down very bad. Last I used it 3 years back when it came free with my montherboard :p.

Norton's USA has rear doors, fully I distrust.

According to Bloomberg, last June the Ministry of Public Security of China stated internally that would have Symantec software security vulnerabilities such as backdoors that allow third party access from the outside, which was denied by the company.

I never found Norton to slow down my laptop, infact I found it to be very light.

Tony :)
When I first installed it was very light. It sat there not using any CPU and RAM or very little. But when I ran a scan the fans started whirring like crazy, and it was ramming the RAM :)D). When it was done, laptop was still as noisy as ever, and I uninstalled it. Wonder if it was a bug or something.

Norton USA,NASA,Bad

First of all please learn the difference between NASA and the NSA. Secondly, if the NSA (or even the NASA lol) wanted to get into your private Windows computer, they would get in. They don't even need purposefully preinstalled backdoors for that (and of course there is all that information you are disclosing about yourself online, which is uploaded to external servers they have access to).
