One Response to “Norton Anti-Virus 2006 Disables My Keylogging Software”

   I’ve really come to dislike Symantec products. Norton was great when Peter Norton ran the company a LONG time ago. I had some issues with Norton Anti-virus just over a year ago – and a friend of a friend (who’s a Network Admin type) strongly recommened PC-Cillin.

   The User Interface is much less slick than Norton – but it’s a snap to install and un-install (cant say that about Norton – the uninstalling at least) and it doesn’t seem to interfere with other software as much as Symantec products.

   Since I’ve been recommending it to friends and family – I’ve found many cases where it detected problems Norton didn’t – and fixed problems Norton could detect and couldn’t fix.

   For example, my brother-in-law got a particularly nasty spyware that hijacked IE browser to a search page – and struggled hard to get rid of it – using all the usual Spyware tools. Eventually I gave up – but he also wanted me to install PC-Cillin per my recommendation as his Norton subscription was about to expire.

   So I installed PC-Cillin and part of the virus/malware scan on install – it detected the browser problem and fixed it. If I had installed PC-Cillin first – it would have saved me several hours…

   You can believe me (or not!) But I am no way affiliated with the company that makes it – I’m just a customer (I am a software development consultant)…

   PS – I really enjoy your blog
