Thanks to @nickstar1 , I was able to take a few shots before the big test I'll be doing tonight :) (I'll release the video on Sunday or Monday).





I'll make a big video about it :D

I am looking forward to this. I have been waiting for the new version to be released to give it a spin myself. Does it still come with the browser extension?

To put it mildly, Norton V24 can already be called the skinned version of Avast, the top technology IPS, SONAR and so on no longer exist, can't help but be sad. I conservatively don't think Avast's network protection can reach such a top level as Norton once had.

When I learnt that Gen had acquired a number of capable and skilled security software companies, I was even looking forward to the emergence of an ultimate security software, but I was a bit disappointed that Gen has not been able to merge the technologies so far, but has instead researched its mining in the first place.

Maybe it just needs time. Hopefully there will be an ultimate version of Norton. I'll be sure to support it when it does.


The following picture is attached: using TrendMicroBAS to test Norton V22/Norton 24(Avast) and Kaspersky. this is reproduced from a Chinese security software forum.

Translation:

NortonV22 is now known to be detectable, Kaspersky and Avast do not respond.
Whether it is accurate or not is not talked about, at least it can reflect whether NortonV24 still contains Symantec's IPS component.
All traffic is simulated and does not cause actual harm, so you can feel free to test it live.

(Norton detected the threat and prevented, while Kaspersky did not)



Translation:

Norton V24 seems to make everyone down.

fwiw, I cranked-up VM running Norton in US (vpn also US connected), let Norton run its updates and I still have version 22.24.5.6 as current. Norton is fast with a crisp feeling here.

So where are you getting those cheap keys from?


Not like I am desperate for a license but everyone has a hobby. Hookers collect STDs and I collect AV's so I am a digital hooker. Or I guess antihooker since it's AVs and not just Vs. And unlike a hooker we all have to deal with packs of Trojans.
Im personally buying cheap keys from amazon, kinguin, g2a, eneba, g2g....but i only buy from trusted sellers ( good reputation) and i have never had any problems buying these licenses. I also have bought discord nitro, gametime for world of warcraft, fortnite vbucks + skins, alot of different stuff for discounted price.

I only can buy stuff online with the paysafecard so im limited to use these services
