Free Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 v2 for 90 days

August 15, 2008 · Filed Under Security · 12 Comments 

The latest promotion by Symantec, the creator of Norton AntiVirus is currently giving out complete functional version of Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 Version 2.0 for a trial period of 90 days.

Yes, that is 90 days of the usual 15 days, and it can only be found via the following official link Download Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 Version 2.0. I’m still puzzled about this whole idea of keeping this promotion low profile, isn’t it a great way of promoting your own product to would be customers?

p.s. Say, what if my 90 days trial period for Norton 360 is up and I proceed with the installation of Norton AntiVirus 2008? Will I be getting 180 days of free Norton product?

Win a Genuine Norton 360 Version 2.0 Serial Number

Norton 360 Version 2.0

I am thinking of running a contest where the price is a free genuine copy of Norton 360 version 2. I’m not sure how am I suppose to run this competition, it would be great to see something for a change instead of boring post.

How about the person that blogs in their blog on why he/she should win a copy of Norton 360 from GeckoandFly? Suggestion?

Norton 360 Version 2.0

Norton 360 version 2.0 is out now, and I’ve downloaded the trialware did some performance test on two of my comp and surprisingly it is overwhelming, the new version is lighter, faster.

According yo Norton, it uses 73% less memory compare to version 1.0, it boost up any applications by 6% faster, and the user interface response is 92% faster. In short, Norton 360 is a great product and does exactly what its name says in covering the security of your computer. It’s nice to have a product that’s somewhat user friendly and efficient. Speaking of user interface, I would say McAfee has a very user unfriendly interface.

Some of the new features in Norton 360 version 2.0 are:

Network Monitoring, which checks the status of wireless security, maps connected devices, alerts users when they are connected to an unsecure network, and provides advice to help manage network security settings. Norton 360’s Smart Background Scheduler has been enhanced with the ability to prevent tasks from initiating automatically while in battery power mode and also throttles bandwidth for online backups to minimize impact on performance. Norton 360 users have the option to manually scan individual files and folders and to shutdown their computer upon completion of a task.

Norton 360’s anti-phishing and Web authentication functionality has been extended to Firefox. Enhancements have also been made to the Norton toolbar, allowing it to be resized or hidden. Source: WWPI.com

Given today’s threat landscape, computer users need to gravitate towards all-in-one solutions like Norton 360 to address their essential security needs, the Norton 360 Version 2.0 cost around 80 dollars, a reasonable price for a trouble free PC.

p.s. Avoid downloading a copy of Norton 360 version 2 from any Bittorrent site for the time being, not only it is a version 1.0 disguise as version 2, but it comes with a virus.

Crack Norton Anti Virus 2008 and McAfee Virus Scan Plus?

Crack Norton Anti Virus 2008 and McAfee Virus Scan Plus

Norton Anti virus has been my preferred security software for 10 year, McAfee on the other hand used to be my number one choice for its reliability and solid engine. The reason for the switch was probably because of the overall performance of Norton, and the comprehensive, automated protection and PC tune-up technologies that comes bundle in as Norton Systemworks.

Security software are one of the most profitable product in the computer market, every PC comes bundled with it, be it pirated or legal with 3 months trial. Back then, finding the serial numbers for Norton anti-virus software was pretty much straight forward, phone activation code and registration code do not exist, thus eliminating the trouble of installation.

Today, USD30 for a piece of software doesn’t seem to be that expensive compare to what we had to pay for a decade ago, for those that can afford the original software, please purchase instead of cracking it.

What if you can not afford the USD30 software? What if you are from a third world and USD30 due to the currency exchange rate, a single license software could potentially cost you a month’s pay? My advice is go for alternative Anti-Virus software, they’re not feature rich like Norton or McAfee, but they have the capability to perform what Norton or McAfee does, another plus point for these anti-virus is the lack of market penetration. Yes, the lack of market shared by these smaller free alternative anti-virus rendered it almost invisible under the radar of spammers, hackers, virus writer and many more, just like a mac. Invisibility means the chances of this alternate anti-virus software being attacked by these viruses are almost zero.
