I'm not going to argue that Symantec sucks (preaching to the choir there), but if this particular girl's computer is going to be a problem, wouldn't this particular issue be with where she is going, or what emails she's opening?Originally Posted by itadakimasu
I'm no IT expert, but spyware and adware doesn't just spontaneously congregate onto a single person's computer.
I have to agree with this. She's obviously going to sites and clicking on prompts that allow these apps to install. I don't know of any antivirus that will stop something from installing if you click on "allow" or "ok" to the install prompt. Maybe she didn't keep the definitions updated.
I use Norton because, like Buff, it was my first and I haven't had any issues with viruses or spyware/malware/adware. Also, my PCs are all beefy enough not to notice any performance hits from NAV.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
EVERY case of abortion in here became 100% ilegal, suddenly this country sucks a little bit more.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
The same girl had a different rogue antivirus app come up yesterday..> I think somehow the vipre I installed got disabled... or something, I don't know yet. But I ran a quick scan w\ vipre and it came up w\ a whole new list of shit today. I didn't clean any of it so I could scan w\ symantec ( that my coworker re-installed) and that way I can show the comparison later on...
aside from the fact that norton is likely going to take 8 hours to scan and find less than the other program found in 5 minutes.
