CJ Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I use the above software and the licence renewal is approaching. Should I continue with this product or are there better alternatives out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Methinks that for the sake of £16, it isn't worth messing around as I have not had a problem in the last 12 months of using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 if it works why change it only thing cheaper is probably AVG which is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 So is NOD32 if you know the right places to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStormRising Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 So is any application for testing purposes of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 NOD32 is still great, keep it. I'm a reseller for it and I have it on all of my client's workstations and servers. And it's cheap too. Quantity discounts are great. Initial purchase is £23 + vat for a single user, which drops to £144 + vat for ten users! Renewal pricing is, as you already know, even cheaper. Girlfriend's father in law was 'conned' into paying 70EUR for Norton 2007, because it wouldn't let him renew his subscription to 2005. We've had to add a load more memory to the machine now, and it still takes forever to boot up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 grrrr Norton has gotta be the worst AV ive ever had the mis-pleasure of working with. I only think its popular becuase PC World push it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Takes up way too much ram IMO, avg much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Takes up way too much ram IMO, avg much better 14mb is a lot IMO, but not by todays standards I don't think. The system I just looked at was showing 14mb for nod32krn, but 40mb for explorer.exe. There were no windows open on the desktop or anything.

Marty Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 When i had it running on mine, it added about another 80mb in total to my memory usage? it also uses symantec and requires that to be running in the ram aswel too doesnt it? i was running norton firewall too which didnt help, needless to say i uninstalled all of them, and am runnin avg and windows firewall with no problems whatsoever. 14mb is a lot IMO, but not by todays standards I don't think.

Ah, you're talking about Norton. It's made by Symantec, so I suppose it does 'use symantec' No problem. I couldn't agree more. I thought you were talking about NOD32.
