Norton 2013 Products Final Released.

With the lack of changes from 2012 to 2013 version id be surprised if there were issues.I personally don't find it lighter or faster than previous version ,rather about the same.I also think the 2013 gui was changed to make it look as if its a completely new product (aka windows 8 )rather than something from last year thats been dressed up.With most of the avs neck and neck in detection ,and most new pcs able to handle any drag on their system a pretty gui is about all that separates them imo.

 

Def slightly faster web-browsing,pages load faster

 

What are the changes to the Norton Toolbar? - a blog post about the online vault and the share feature.

 

I really had to laugh at this...
"you may have noticed some improvements to the Norton Toolbar - the Share button and the Online Vault"
Wow that has made all the difference

 

Norton, In-Depth - Part 1

...as well as inconvenient and annoying as mentioned in the comments.

 

does anyone have any issues with NIS 2013 when connecting to wireless? my computer connects but there a delay in getting internet. the connection states Limited Access.

would i need to change anything in the firewall rules?

 

no probs here,on 4 wireless PCs/laptops

 

think that's "normal" if you go into admin tools/services:-it shows there with automatic start up

 

A post mentioning that the Share feature will be hidable soon and explaining why the local vault was removed for new users: http://community.norton.com/t5/Nort...lease-Explain/m-p/825942/highlight/true#M4553.

 

20.2.0.19 is being released in a phased manner.

Product Update - 20.2 of Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus
Product Update - 20.2 of Norton 360

 

Running NIS2013 very smoothly on my 8 year old WinXP PC. Was half expecting it to run like crap, but fair is fair, it is very sweet indeed. Hopefully with stay that way for the next 30 days, then who knows...

anyone know if the password Id vault is as secure as safepay?

 

Same problem in this version as in previous version.

If I manually live update and then Stop it in between then it hangs and there is no way to close the windows.
Anyone else facing with same problem ??

 

All good here.

 

no probs here,takes a little while to close if I do what you say(approx 3-4 secs)but assume it has to finish which part of update it has started before closing ie checking/downloadind/installing

 

I've not read this whole thread but wanted to ask, when installing NIS 2013 will it remove MBAM? If not, will it allow MBAM to run real time at the same time as running NIS?

 

It won't remove MBAM. You're best running it "ON DEMAND" though, running two antispywares in real time lessens your pc protection by tampering or interfering with them! Best thing to do is to ask this on the Norton forum (google).

 

I've seen claims that some have been able to run real time. You should probably exclude them from each other if you choose to do so. I would be more likely to run MBAM on demand. I've lately been debating with myself as to use MBAM at all. I currently don't have it installed for lack of need for it. I may regret it if the need comes up but I haven't had an infection of any kind since the days of XP.

 

MBAM is not on-access but on-execution scanner.

 

Works great with default settings Win 7 & 8 64 bit.

 

Is there a fix from norton regarding the shut-down issue? I had to uninstall NIS after it didn't allow my pc to shut-down completely.

 

what shut down issue?never knew there was one as never had any probs with it,is it just your shut down issue or is it common?

 

I just got around to installing NIS 2013 today.

Fix came in as a patch in the first batch of updates I downloaded. First time I ever saw Norton issue a "patch."

 

found reference to this on a few forums,but most posts were from same user so still not sure if its an issue affect just a few folk

 

yes that is unusual:-its usually Kaspersky that has to keep patching latest versions to get them running correctly!
