Can anything possibly be worse than Norton Antivirus?

I have Norton 360 Antivirus protection. Went to eBay today and guess what? Every search I do on eBay tells me that I am being directed to a fraudulant webpage. But when I look at the URL I can see t his is simply not the case.

I think eBay should sue Norton for disrupting their business. I personally can not bid on auctions for items that I really wanted.

    Sorry to hear about the problem. The only thing worse than Norton is Macafee. I had Norton for several years. The only problem was that every time I wanted to make changes to the computer Norton would fight me all the way. Recently I uninstalled Norton and installed SecureAnywhere. It is recommended by several computer magazines. There are three versions of SecureAnywhere. I opted for the most expensive which is the Complete2012 version. Cost about $80.00 U.S. I've had this for about a month now. I really like it and it causes not computer problems. I do a lot of buying and selling on ebay. SecureAnywhere has not hindered my ebay transactions at all.

    Norton - sucks. A geek told me Norton is for a business not for home use.

    I use to have Norton but several yrs ago, changed to something else.

    Ya you should probably get rid of norton. I would recommend AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2012 unless you want to pay for the full version.

    Source(s): I use it and it works great.

    You may need to go to your security setting and make an adjustment to allow eBay. If you have support with Norton you should call them and they should be able to walk you through making changes in you security settings.

    Source(s): I've seen problems like this not just with Nortons

    Norton does suck. However you can modify your settings to be less strict when viewing web pages.

    I have something from Microsoft that works fairly well and is much better than Norton. Had Mcaffe which was horrible. Way back when i had Spy bot search and destroy which failed.
