One day a friend installed the Ubuntu operating system on my computer and I am pleased to say that it has no need for anti virus programmes. It is like having a better version of Mac, think of it as a free anti virus program that comes with all the software you need at no cost. Check it out you have nothing to loose but angst over viruses key loggers and what anti virus software to use and what websites not to visit and how you are going to pay for it all. It works why bother with anything else? All computer viruses are Windows viruses, and only Windows computers are affected by viruses. Ubuntu and Apple computers are not affected by viruses. I wish every computer journalist would start their articles with those sentences, the public are not being informed.

If Norton offered a free upgrade to existing customers I would at least be able to see if it makes me happy again. Just last week, I tried to upgrade from Firefox 2 to 3 and when that didn't work, I tried to install Google Chrome which didn't work either. It took me several hours to find out that the culprit was the Norton firewall. Turning it off and the Windows firewall on, and then rebooting, allowed me to install both browsers. But my biggest complaint is the virus checking of outgoing emails. In earlier versions, I was able to turn that off. I send a lot of large attachments and the delay caused by Norton 360 doing its virus check is unacceptable. It really slows me down. If NIS2009 lets me turn that off and the trial is free, I just might give Norton another chance.

I am a techie and have tried various security suites and individual tools over the years, from AVG to ZoneAlarm. They all made my system feel like a bloated pig. Norton 2009 was recently in beta and I gave it a spin. I was totally blown away by how quick it was to set up, and it definitely feels more lightweight than any other security suite I've used. My system didn't feel any slower at all. Actually, it felt faster because I replaced a slower product which shall remain nameless [rhymes with "terse key"]. Hopefully other software vendors will wake up and realize that we techies (and lots of regular folks too) don't want bloat. I think Google gets the idea with their Chrome web browser. Microsoft and Apple are you listening? I think this signals the beginning of long-needed changes in the security software market, and hopefully for software overall.
