Never again

By Scott  Sep 28, 2008

Pros: It does find virus

Cons: slowed my computer to a crawl

I had 2005 version and it worked great. I used a firewall from another vendor. I upgraded to 2006, big mistake. It didn't work with my firewall. It also slowed my computer to a crawl, it takes over two minutes to boot up now. I'll say one thing for their support they answer emails. After two months of exchanging emails to find an answer, that included uninstall and reinstall multiple times, they stared over again with their solutions. I pointed this out and so their solution became to upgrade to still another version. I have had other problems and again they have me try numerous solutions but I never have had them suggest something that works. Waiting for my subscription to run out and I'm buying something else.

Symantec does NOT kill Joke.blusod Trojan.blusod

Pros: Symantec Shield does NOT protect the firewall

Cons: Symantec Shield does NOT protect trojan XPAntivirus

Symantec corporate Shield is NO USE. It can not protect the virus joke.blusod, trojan.blusod, XPantivirus to come through.

Even with the latest download it cannot even delete the virus.

My technician told me that Symantec can NOT kill the alive virus. It only kills the dormant virus.

Symantec is just a waste of money and effort.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware does AN EXECELLENT job of removing all of the above virus.
