Problem - Thunderbird Gmail Norton

[nzoomed]

You can never go by many of the online reviews. MANY are paid for. ( read between the lines)

The Comment  "ESET goes deeper into the computer to look for malware but Norton is better at stopping it at the gate."

TOTAlly DISAGREE with the last part of that statement, you want to know the number of computers (and I'm talking Hundreds) that are infected with people using Norton thinking their computer is clean  ??  Just yesterday on a customer's PC, HAD Norton, uninstalled and installed Esets - found  5 infections within 1/3 of the scan.

One other you mentioned is actually more of an infection than antivirus --  TotalAV, most of the time the amount of malware it installs is beyond belief.

This goes back to the 1st point, you can never trust review sites, look at the 1st reply on this forum  https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comme...alav_scam/


Why do you think several people from THIS forum recommend Eset ?? Because they actually work in the IT industry ( myself for over 20 years)  and KNOW what it can and cant do.

Completely agree, the amount of infections i see on machines running Norton is ridiculous.
Way back in the day about 20 years ago I used to work for someone obsessed with Norton, I was getting fed up with all the machines bought into the workshop full of infections that Norton could not remove.
He didnt want to change and I ended up going against his word because i was sick of the amount of machines I had to deal with in the workshop infected with viruses and every kind of malware/spyware you could think of.
So i downloaded a trial of Nod32 on the company computer behind his back to prove a point and the rest if history, I could pretty much remove 100% of the infections every time and this was at a time where there was an absurd amount of malware coming to the scene that most antivirus companies were struggling to deal with.
After that, my boss became a reseller of Nod32 overnight.
