Its fake... I really hope you know that.. The payment you make goes to an offshore account.. Its a virus that autoloads into your bootup directory. So it shows up as soon as you boot. Even in safe mode if i remember correctly

Yes I said it was a scam, and that was a joke, 10 years or $300 doesn't seem very comparable.

Lol.. There is a reason norton is nicknamed the "hackers playground". Most hackers learn to hack thru it because its easier too. And like steven said. Major resource hog. The free version of avast rates higher than norton does.

I've used norton since before you were born.

Hacks = 0
Virus = 0

Until I've had either I'll trust norton

That's the point, norton doesn't "catch" any of said hacks or viruses

I have plenty of resources just never liked norton.

Yeah I use avast total and malware bytes pro in conjunction. Both use next to nothing and actually work.

Exactly, would be different if it was actually doing something useful with said resources.
