Symantec Norton AntiVirus Review

Note added to top: AT&T Yahoo now uses McAfee as their free anti-virus program.

My first Gateway P/C back in 2002 (I think) came with a 90 subscription to Norton AntiVirus.  After that, I had to either buy it on my own or find another company.  After browsing their web site (Symantec), I decided not only to renew the 90 day subscription, but upgrade to Norton SystemWorks. (See separate review under Symantec SystemWorks)

In all the years of using Symantec products, I've never had a virus, or worm get through.  It's blocked them all.  But...be sure to have automatic updates turned on, and run it manually from time to time - just to make sure.

Once and only once did I try another product.  It was when I first switched to AT&T Yahoo and their free anti-virus program was through Computer Associates.  Terrible.  I went back to Norton AntiVirus.  Since then, AT&T Yahoo has even made the switch. 

Nothing beats FREE!  AT&T Yahoo now offers a free Norton Protection Center which comes with a firewall, Intrusion Protection, Spyware Protection and, of course, Norton AntiVirus.  It scans incoming & outgoing mail, scans any floppy or removable drives when inserted, and automatically protects from Internet threats.
