I am also one of the user of Symantec Antivirus for quite a long time. Imagine carrying a computer without antivirus! It always give me the fear of losing all my valuable data after hearing tons and tons of the effect of losing information/data due to virus. With this issue, I had always stand side by side with top-notch antivirus nominated by the market and that is the Symantec Antivirus which most of you have ever heard of.
Symantec had a very strong reputation in their antivirus software and most people I feel may be cheated by this reputation. To my very first point. How many benefits it brought to you by purchasing this program? Well here is what I am going to say.
System crashing..... Slow booting......System slowing down.... and so on........ Well I am not too fancy on these and so I ignored all these and continue to use their product until its version at 2006. All these issues can be tolerate by me but finally my only reason to purchase this program disappeared! Why? MY COMPUTER HAD ALREADY BEEN AFFECTED BY VIRUS wihout knowing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I know? By scanning using other antivirus software! Currently I am using Avast Free Edition. This software is indeed great! Auto-updates with no trouble! Free from virus since on. There is lots more top-rated antivirus around voted by people such as NOD32, panda and etc which I had never tried so I cant review on this!
My advise is NOT TO BUY symantec products anymore.... Being the most expensive antivirus in market bears you no protection as strong as those of free edition by other vendors! So why spent money on such products? Try those free editions and you may like it!!
