Tornado's Security Configuration 2016

[Deleted Member 333v73x]

@VatosLocos I prefer to buy them in person in an actual shop, but that website looks good and thank you for helping

Have you used a trial or checked for any Giveaways?

Norton Security is good product to protect your PC.

Config is definitely getting better and better on this one. A few unneeded programs here and there, but still good. SAS and Avast Browser Clean-up seem redundant with the amount of on-demand scanners you have and CCleaner.

Removed: Avast! Browser Cleanup and SAS.

I have decided that free versions of Anti-Viruses are not enough IMO

What made you come to that conclusion? In what aspects does avast! fall short? Let's not forget AVIRA, AVG and 360.

Last free you used was WD, it is still the basic but good enough. Just because a solution does not have all bells and whistles, does not mean free is bad.

One recommendation: instead of buying a product, give a full 30 day trial and see how it goes.
Also, within one day you added 2 softwares and removed it within 24 hours. Perhaps is best to test in VM first as previously mentioned.

I came to that conclusion because of many reasons, first of all look at Malware Removal Assistance the majority of people have free AVs like Avast!, MSE, Avira, AVG and others they still get infected, Norton gives you a 100% Virus Free Guarantee and has amazing SONAR and heuristics detection. You pay for what you get I am not saying free AVs are bad, just IMO not enough for today's malware.

You bit wrong.Avast! is great.Avira's signatures is even with Kaspersky.AVG is worse to try because of their privacy policy.

I believe you are missing one key factor: not everyone is computer savy and have near perfect browsing habits.

same person who would get infected with avast or any free security running, also gets infected with paid security such as BitDefender, Mcafee and the list goes on.

please do not judge a book by its cover.

Is Norton security has offline protection?

Is Norton security has offline protection?

Yes, it uses signatures, cloud and SONAR there are updates around every 15 minutes so that's a good sign that they want us to be protected against Zero-Day and Zero-Hour malware. SONAR is like advanced heuristics, I am absolutely loving it now - it's even slightly lighter than WD when idle

I thought Nortan and McAfee were pretty bad?

You will like it. Its light & excellent protection. Its reputation tech can give "Unproven" popups for new programs/new versions of the programs but you are not an average user so no probs for you. Its Sonar, download/file insight, etc... are pretty good. Overall Norton Security provides excellent protection.

In recent years, Norton have made a huge turn-around. Having listened to their users and customer's feedback the products have improved dramatically, along with new technologies.

I cannot comment on McAfee, as I haven't used them since 2004.

 

[Deleted Member 333v73x]

McAfee was pre-installed on my PC like all of the other rubbish that Acer's have these days.

Now showing my Normal and Gaming machines here

Must aware that Norton Security products contain likely passive signatures where they rely more on Cloud and Sonar Behavior considering that to reduce the possible false positive rates.

I find Norton signatures for offline protection fairly good. And online protection is excellent with its layered approach.

Is there a point of using Norton ConnectSafe when I have Norton Security installed?
