Norton Sucks
I hate norton internet security it screwed up my system once u installed parental controls u can't uninstall it because u have to be a superviser. and it sucks because they don't give u any options and Liveupdate doesn't work I now use McAfee its the best.

Why did you install parental controls? Clearly your parents set them up for a reason, maybe you should talk with them about Internet policies.
I use Norton Antivirus, and it seems to be the most effective anti-virus solution on the market. |

I agree with Dan on the parental controls, if anybody could change them, that would be like having a "pass"option when typing in your password for your checking account - pointless.
I use Norton Internet Secutrity and am very satisfied with it, only negative thing I can think of is the fact that it slows down your computer a bit.

Between norton and mcafee, I'd have to go with norton. I didn't like mcafee, but norton was always pretty good.

Were you updating the signature files? I normally run systems with both, and frequently investigate viruses. Most are detected by either system in about the same time, with the latest dats. Depending on how locked the system is, NAV removal tools need higher priv. NAV includes registry key removal. |

Norton updates for newly released problems not immediate. Symantec needs to make their timing of updates more efficient.

I used to use Norton on my personal computers, but i never liked it much. If you really want a top of the line AV detector I suggest getting: Kaspersky. It doesnt use as much resources as norton does and it catches a lot more viruses that norton doesnt find.

Norton doesn't do enough for being so controlling of a system. Two virus scanners that I have actually liked are Panda Anti-Virus and Avast located at www.avast.com. Both have worked extremely well. I just never install avast with skins so always a minimal install.
