Hi,
I am using Avast Home Edition for about 3 months now and i am very satisfied with the program as for the support given by email and on the forums.
I visited the norton website a few days ago and did a “security” check.
Hacker exposure seems OK, Firewall seems OK,…ect,…BUT
“Norton was unable to detect a Antivirus-system”.
Now I know that Norton knows their marketing-lessons.
Is this a trick to tell a novice computer-user that the AV (in this case Avast) is not a real AV-program? So instead they buy Norton?
Just wondering

It’s possible Norton would do that >:(

They detect:
F-Secure
Mcafee
Norton AV 2000,2001,2003,2004
Norton AV Corporate edition 7.51 or higher
They dont detect avast neither did they detect command which I used before avast.
All they want is for you to buy THEIR software.
You are fully protected with Avast

Yea very weird.
It does show up as detecting an AV on my systems because I have F-Secure 5.51 as well( but I only use its on demand scan not the real time scanner)

It does the same thing with firewall things too.
If it is not norton related or such…you “don’t have a firewall” 
so i guess their security thing is a bit “uncorrect”

none that I know of ;D I never trusted symantec’s firewall or AV.
But Norton Utilites is good
Symantec is a bloatware 
Just Norton Utilities and CleanSweep work… 
No NAV, no firewall >:(
It is a joke… if avast! is previous installed in your computer, installing NAV will mess everything… And this wonderful package does not even alert the user :o
Oh, better, installing NAV will mess everything in any situation ;D
