Hey, this is weird. Norton just blocked me from coming to this page.

Said it was contaminated and a "phishing" site.
Had to reload the site, then it was OK.

Never saw that before. Maybe just a glitch?

1. It's Norton AV it's a piece of ... - errr - it's not very good

Do some searching there are many better products out there. I use Avast but there is probably better still

4. IMO Norton's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

At least 2/3 of the infected computers I clean have Norton on them.

2. i have norton but i don't recall it ever "warning" me about du

i've been coming here for awhile now and it has always seemed perfectly fine (all the way around)

3. It did the same thing to me now with a couple of other sites.

Who knows? Glitch or some kind of remote attack. The mystery of computers.

5. Yes weird.....

why would anyone use Norton?

Get Clam A/V - http://www.immunet.com/main/index.html

or

Microsoft Security Essentials - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials

6. Being Norton it is probably useless, however it may have been reacting to an ad.

Even on sites I trust occasionally a malicious ad will try to come through.

7. I am disappointed that no one has made a Honeymooners joke about this yet

Shame on you, Lounge.

Shame.

8. Was my first thought, but you beat me to it

[TrogL]

9. Norton is a virus

[Populist_Prole]

10. +1

It's by far the most obtrusive, controlling AV out there IMO.

11. OK, I'm not tech savy at all with this stuff.

Can someone explain in a few short simple sentences why Norton is such a pox on cyberland?

And what should I get next year when the Norton subscription is up that's better. EDITED -- sorry, you already did this part, thanks!

Thanks.
