Beta testing has started,

Welcome and thank you for volunteering to test Norton AntiVirus 2006, version 12.1.

Testing will begin shortly and should last until the end of November. When NAV 12.1 is ready to be tested I will notify you by email and I will make an announcement on the user forums.

NAV 12.1 ET1 has been posted and is ready for all of you to download and test.

The goal of this test is to find Viruses, Spyware, or Adware that NAV 12.1 does not detect or detects but can not remove.

During this test, please make sure you do not run LiveUpdate. Instead, you will be using two files, “RunFirst.exe” and “eei32.exe” to install NAV 12.1 virus definitions and updates. These files are located in the Builds section of the NAV 12.1 project page.

[RedInferno]

You got it already????


***COUGH*** Karl, your services are no longer required The dave man's got me covered...

Nice to see its out... but BSOD has a point... should have waited and fixed the buggies a little better... I'll stick with my older version, it works well

[RedInferno]

I am using 2004, it is quite good except for the virus scanner takes forever...which on eare you using...

and yes, BSOD is right...i heard it is very buggy if not overpriced..

[ShadowFox]

me.... 2002 Utilities It's the last one mom bought

[RedInferno]

You know, every time you reinstall your update subscription gets renewed

[ShadowFox]

Yeah, that's why there's no need to buy a newer one LOL

[RedInferno]

IDK, there are always new features which you can't really upgrade...I think I might get 2006 when it comes out.

heres the problem with the norton lineup ... ok after 2002's good version things gradually started going down hill , 03-05 consistantly added crap like a low key firewall and ad blocker and a bunch of other junk that simply wasnt necessary. After seeing i wasnt gonna win a battle over my system and i wasnt going to let Norton overrun my pc and monitor it with crap i didnt even want i went with Symantec Antivirus 10 Corporate edition and have been happy ever since... it does what a AV should do... and thats protect from virus'

[RedInferno]

Does it run fast though? And what do you mean by 'low key firewall' ?

[BlueScreenOfDeath]

u think your gettin just an AV application and its got a framework of a firewall in there 'internet worm protection' ha more like NPF lol.
