Is Norton antivirus a waste of money?

Although Norton is expensive, I think people are missing the FREE norton software...that people can just download...when and if they have Comcast. if you go to security.comcast.net, you can download Norton for FREE just by using your Comcast email. Too bad namt many people know about it.

Yes. Microsoft Security Essentials is better and free.

i would say get a free antivirus there just as good as payed ones.

As a malware researcher/security specialist, I have to say that Norton is a resource hog, it is now been named as "Bloatware", Norton also has a high false positive rate.

I recommend getting Kaspersky, Avast, Avira, etc. as a alternative.

Yes. Norton is overrated, and ended up crashing my old computer (long story, please don't ask).

Now I use Avast for free, and it works wonders for me :)

I am a home user, I have had norton since i started on the PC, Has helped me out along the way no complaints!

Yes there are much better options. One very good quality free option is Microsoft's anti-virius suite but if you want paid try ESET

yes it is, i belive avast! is way better!!!

and i think is is cheaper...

Yes no point in wasting your money, since there are a lot of freee AV, like Avira,Avast,Security Essentials,AVG, ClamAV just to name a few, the only two AV's i would wast money on: Kaspersky and Esset :p

YES Norton is a Big Waste of Money! >:(
