Sneek Preview into Norton AV 2005 ( Now beta included )

L

Hi guys

Symantec is already testing their latest version of the much aclaimed Anti- Virus Software ( Norton Anti Virus 2005 ) I have some of the screen shots for you..... This version will also include an inbound firewall and also will change colors according to the status of the Anitivirus ( well just from green to red). It will interface with Windows XP SP2 veru well......

Normal Screen.

ooooo .. i havent tried nv 2004 yet .. but seems good . got from semantec's site ?

I

nik: dont bother with the 2004 its absolute rubbish. I had severe problems with it. Right now I would say do the corp edition or use 2003 version. I would take the wait and watch approach for 2005 esp since we dont know how our system will be affected after SP2 installation for Windows XP

I guess we can expect a spyware /adware remover along with the
antivirus engine... not very sure though.

Hope its not resource hungry as its predecessors!!!

yaa NAV was my worse nightmare man it SCANS every damn thing making the pc sluggish

L

yup the scanning is real slow cause norton scans every single thing. NAV 2004 already has the joke programs and adware built into it to a small extent.

But I still would be happy to have a safer system than a crashed system

A

Yeah.
Norton may be sluggish,cpu n memory hog.
But its reliable.
Is the Beta of 2005 available for download.
It looks cool
But it seems that Symantec has just made the interface prettier.
Couldnt find any new features from the snapshots.
Hey Leech,
What are the min. & reccomended requirements.
Most probably they must have reccomended winXP, 256MB Ram n some Ghz cpu.

L

still in the process of gathering information amitsaudy. will get back to you.

G

i heard that 2004 makes pc really slow ??? does it ?

L

OOPS all my images are ggggggggggggoooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee..... I wish we had the option to upload images on the digit server itself

ya norton 2004 makes the pc real slow. it has unnecessary popups and alerts. which can make even the fastest pc a SNAIL.

S

I am using NAV 2004 & didn't face any problems. It runs smoothely, no system slowdown. As always, everyone has a different expirience!

R

i still don't like norton even if it looks like aishwarya rai!

what about amirta ??? hahaha

S

I hav AVG, It is the best antivirus as per me

Good... I am too tired of separate Firewalls and that stuff ..Lets see if it is a resource hogger or not ..
Collectively ZAP and NAV eats some 39 Mb of my RAM ..if it takes less than it . I am gonna have it ...

my nav 04 works fine with xp but it has completely messed up my 98se.

P

Looking forward to an XPSP2 Security Centre-friendly NAV2005......

Now there's a patch (WMI) to enable the integration, but the damn thing takes up 6 MB of memory by itself.

P

The link to the beta of NAV2005 is warez, actually.
The final version is close to release. Better beware of the mods now....

Check out ZoneAlarm 5.1 Security Suite. Has a firewall+antiVirus+lots more. Occupies less memory too!

the ZA antivirus is a total screw up... doesnt does anything...

K

Not for me thanks, me thinks this is the ultimate system killer

Really?

:roll:
Norton... Hmmm.... well, don't u guys think this is the best way to slow down your PC? It eats up precious memory! :wink:

A

Hey Leech
Got those snapshots up again.
Congratulations.

P

happy with my kaspersky..still has the best rate amoung them all!

Na it is not a warez version cause it is a beta and beta can be downloded for testing by anyone... the screen shots them selves show that...

i tried it and it is really buggy as of now...

N

Is NAV 2005 better than NAV 2k4 because NAV 2004 got messed up when i upgraded frm win 98 to win xp pro. I had to remove it manually by deleting some folders and editing the registry. If it is, then i'll dwnld it.................Thankx....................

A

I downloaded the beta through the link but didnt browse the site.
But dont think its warez but not necessery that betas r available for
anyone to download.
Remember 'WHISTLER'.

R

W

i would rather wait for the final release .
anyway thnx..

NAV 2005 Sucks!...Too many problems and too slow
It s worse than NAV 2004!
Stick To Mc Afee
