Norton Internet Security - Why I Stick With Norton
I've recently been reading a ton of complaints around the web about the Symantec Norton Antivirus and Internet Security Suite of software. The following little review has been written in response to those complaints:
One of the biggest complaints that I read about Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security
is the cost. For me, however, the annual upgrade on Norton Products
always ends up free--at least it has since the turn of the millenium.
Inevitably if you wait long enough their rebates come out that make the
upgrade to the new product absolutely cost free. This holds true even
with their full suite which may retail at $70, but I've managed to get
5 copies for various computers I manage at a final cost to me of $0.
Actually, with Amazon.com
because I get a discount because of the A9 search engine, I think I've
managed to earn a couple of bucks by installing Norton Internet
Security. Next year, I'll use the rebates to do the same.
With
Internet Security, the concerns of many people who are against Norton
and Symantec (especially firewall) with the exception of the resource
hog issue (Symantec really needs to address this issue) are handled.
Symantec
needs to fix their technical service side of things by offering free
help of at least some sort. They need to tone down the issues of
resource hogging. But as long as they offer me free upgrades every year
and consistently maintain virus-free computers (6 years virus free on
all on the computers I've managed: usually 5-7 at one time) I'll stick
with Symantec. Nevertheless, despite these pitfalls, as long as I can
keep upgrading for free and my systems remain virus-free, Norton is my
source for internet security.
