I'm not sure since the last time I used Norton was in 2001, and it stop a Instant Messaging virus some dude try to sent to me over Yahoo Instant Messenger. Though, I think he probably use one of those popular viruses which can found at popular h4cker sites and was not coded by himself from C++ or someother language which almost ever decent antivirus knows exists.

I saw this video and Norton performs pretty good. It even tells users not to run unknown files.

I don't pay for antivirus anymore, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and it works perfectly. But last time I used Norton was like 2005, and it was a ram hog from hell.

The guy in the video use a task manager program called (process explorer) and he said it only uses 13 MB according to proc. ex. and the System feels light in Windows XP, so I'm thinking Norton is paying attention to their past problems.

Last time I used a Norton was 4 or 5 years ago and it sucked. When I was using it I downloaded some virus by accident and Norton did nothing while the virus destroyed my computer.
Re: Does Norton Antivirus still have a poor or good reputati
I've used Norton in the past (Circa 1990's and again in some time in the 2000's) and always found it a resource hog, until Norton Internet Security 2010 which I purchased through amazon.
It is much better than it used to be... much better.
I rather have Norton protecting my expensive system than eset smart security or another security suite.
Re: Does Norton Antivirus still have a poor or good reputati
I tried the trial version of Norton last year. It was alright. But I still prefer Kaspersky because it doesn't slow down my system as my as Norton does.
