Why does Norton 360 no longer find risks?
Lately I've been running scans on Norton 360 and it comes up with "Risks Found: 0" at the end of the scan. It is important to note that the type of scan I run is a full system scan. Although this may sound like an excellent thing, it is also important to note that I download a lot of files from the internet, and, when studying IT at college last year, I found out that files downloaded from the internet may have viruses that anti-virus software may not detect. So far, my copy of Norton 360 has detected 8 threats, 7 of which were removed and one was quarantined. With the stealthiness of viruses versus the effectiveness of Norton 360, I don't know if Norton 360 not finding any risks is a testament to the effectiveness of Norton 360 or a cause for concern. What are your views?

i think of Norton cyber web protection 2008 is extra suited than 360. and lots extra fee-effective (£20 (staples) for 3 license %., as I share it with others = £6.sixty seven each and every according to 3 hundred and sixty 5 days). NIS 2008 updates two times an afternoon like N360. I additionally use workstation strategies spyware surgeon. (magnificent prog). the two working does not especially decelerate my workstation. 3.3 Ghz single processor a million.5 GB ram 3Gb waiting enhance ram non sata no longer easypersistent. you need to purpose downloading NIS 2008 and entering into on your N360 code to apply your 3 hundred days. unfastened anti virus: AVG is effective (slower to become attentive to virus's than different utility), extra suited is Avast. yet with the unfastened stuff, you need to run a anti virus test, then a spyware test with yet another application and yet another application to your fireplace wall. This does sluggish the device down working all this utility and updating all of them. Then the identity secure etc is yet another separate application. An so on. extra suited to pay a small value and function a multi function answer. each and every prog has professional's and con's. i've got tried maximum. Panda and Kaspersky are stable. McAfee i did no longer like, to basic set up incorrect and shrink to rubble Vista.

No one antivirus can find everything. I always combine my antivirus with at least two anti-maleware/anti-spyware applications (eg: spybot, malwarebytes), as well as using the latest version of CCleaner.
Since there is NO standard set for malware yet (as in what defines something as malware), one utility might find what another does not.
PS Norton is one of the worst antivirus applications out there.
