    Hmm, I don't.

    You don't need to be logged in to see their new board - Norton EAP

    I can get to that one. I actually just reinstalled Norton today after having trouble updating Microsoft Office with another product installed. I'm not sure that I want to opt into this yet. I'll watch it a bit first.

    Hey deugniet, you beat me to posting about the update. I was notified and ran Live Update straight away, restarted and came here to post and you already had. :D

    Malwarebytes is claiming version 3 will be a full AV replacement, so they'd probably rather run beside it than get dumped for it.

    Yeah, I looked around The Symantec/Norton Thread before #737. Did not check 'other security issues & news'.

    The Norton EAP (Early Adopter Program) is now open to all English speaking customers (with English OS) if anyone is interested.

    I love how light it is, the only thing that stops me from using it is that I've suggested to them many times to give us a custom installer to install it without the bloatware. ie. system optimization, defragmenter, etc. I have an SSD and I don't want it to defragment my SSD

    Also, I hate the pestering to install the Norton Toolbar despite me clicking do not show again, and I don't like the fact that it shows me features that are not relevant to my subscription in the GUI like the online backup

    I agree with Papursan. I can get Norton for free from my ISP, so I tried it again this week. I would like it if it were not for all the "extras" they pack in. I wish there was a "minimal install option" with out all the optimizers, toolbars, etc... I don't like antivirus programs that try to do too much.
