    You sure? Norton 2010 does still take alot of Space, just alittle less. ;)

  5. ballader1 Says:

    no, the new version of norton (norton 2010) doesn’t slow your computer, but the old versions (2009,2008,2007 etc.) do

    This rogue website is still up, however they no longer provide a list of viruses they protect against. Perfect defender, however, is down.

  22. LoggotyroX32 Says:

    WTF??? Really???

    Anyway, Could i ask you something in a PM?

  23. LoggotyroX32 Says:

    And that is what makes Mac’s cool? Didn’t you forget to mention the COOL and EPIC Kernel Panic wich you get every 35 minutes or so? :D

  24. SophosLabs Says:

    There *was* a REAL version of Norton Anti-Virus with the Incredible Hulk on the cover. The image you see is from an Amazon webpage selling it!

    The hackers don’t use the Hulk image in their scam.

  25. LoggotyroX32 Says:

    I’d laugh if Symantec actually gave away The Incredible Hulk Comicbooks bundled with their AntiVirus. :D
    But actually, You can tell this is a Rogue that poses as Norton AntiVirus even if you are a noob at computers, And how can you do that?

    Well, First of all, Symantec has never featured The Hulk on the cover for their software ever before, They will neverr do it :D
    I think this Rogue would fool more people if the maker had used the REAL cover of Norton AntiVirus 2008. :D
