Re: CIA uses Norton AV! So there.

 

There is no way that the CIA or other US Government agency

would use Norton - maybe SAV (Enterprise product). If you

pay close attention you'll notice that almost 100% of all movies

feature Apple computers not PCs. I can only think of a just a

handful of movies that actually show a PC. The last 007 movie

had Sony notebooks featured in it. That's more because Sony

owned a piece of the film rights and probably used it's own line.

If the CIA are using Norton then no wonder the intelligence is wrong the

US's enemies are having a field day planting viruses in the system. Norton

AV couldn't catch a cold, let alone a virus. Seriously Sophos Enterprise

Anti Virus would be more in keeping with an organisation such as the CIA.

As you say, "It's just a Name" - and my surname is spelled

without the "H". But Thanks for the correction.

Re: CIA uses Norton AV! So there.

 

John,

 

I used to use Sophos Enterprise at work for around 8000 clients then (not my

doing) and it couldn't catch the simplest of viruses... With SAVCE browsing to a

machine on the network & immediately it started picking up viruses that Sophos

missed. Luckily I was able to convince the powers that be to change & 100%

better

 

Sophos used to have problems creating Envelope files & in 10-20 mins there could

be 2000 of them which slowed the machines down. A fix was found luckily & Sophos

Support admitted there was a problem

 

It used to have problems with updating (primary/secondary servers), slower

machine startup... I had to write 2 programs 1 to setup Sophos & 2nd to delete

those envelope files)

 

Never in a million years would I recommend Sophos. It's worse than McCrappy &

that is saying something
