Why do people seem to dislike Norton antivirus? but like the Corporate Edition? What’s the difference that makes the Corporate better?

Norton AV Corporate has complete features for large WANs and Enterprises that have excellent protection. They have pro support for IT Admins, etc. In my personal opinion there are other brands out there that are as good/better, but Norton does its job and does it well.

Norton AV for home users is bloated, unnecessarily large, and is almost as bad as AOL at slowing your system which lands it squarely in the realm of "bloatware". There are numerous proggies out there that protect equally as well, and some better, but your system runs fast and clean.

Example: if you run Norton AV/Firewall on your computer, run a Hi Jack This log on your unit (do not delete anything!). You will see at least 10 Norton references being loaded into the working system, sometimes more. Now, run a HT scan on Trend Micro's PC Cillin: maybe three/four entrys, and your entire system runs fast & clean. And that includes firewall.

So Norton AV Corporate isn't blotware like the home one ?

NAV Corporate IS bloatware. However, considering the fast servers that it is installed on most large corporate networks can handle it. In addition, we want to be fair: NAV Corporate is responsible for thousands of units in multiple domains, sometimes enterprises, and can't conflict with any of the systems used. That means large.

ranchhand ok thanks its just that I have seen every now and then people saying about NAV Corporate being very good so I didn't know if it was as resource hungry as the home edition you have cleared that up.
Thanks
