Phoning home.
I have used a older version of Norton Antivirus, 2003 and 2004.
I did an upgrade on one computer to try the new 2007, I do a lot of gaming and are very security aware.
I noticed immediately that the newer version really did have expanded, but what was worse, no matter what type of settings in the program used, I could not stop it from phoning home on a regular basis, but had to shut it out low level.
I know that Nod 32 is one of the least resource demanding virus protections out there, but the "10.000$" question, can you as a user set it up so that it never goes out on the net unless you want it to?
Not having the need to low level block it.
If so, I will try it out, and if it works as anticipated, I will buy some.
Please just answer on this one if you are 100% sure on the issue.
Thanks in advance.
