5.0 out of 5 stars Lean mean fighting machine!, January 10, 2005

By

This review is from: PC-cillin AntiVirus 11.0 (CD-ROM)

I've gone the Norton and McAffee route for over 10 years the most recent of which have been with Norton's bloated memory busting System Works 2005. Since the 2003 version I have noticed a significant slowing of my computing but have been unable to identify the source.

I ran four different anti-spyware programs, I "cleansed" the system using all of Norton's utilities and still my computer was painfully slow hanging up on startup and shutdown. I even ran Hijack This and scrupulously followed the tutorial on MajorGeeks. My problems grew progressively worse until I read somewhere that Norton might well be causing my problems.

At first I discounted this possibility out of hand - I mean, after all, this was a premier program that had been around for years! Their new CEO is touted as the second coming by all of the business magazines and newspapers. Surely, IT couldn't be the source of my problems. But out of frustration I took Norton off of my computer and VOILÀ my problems went away! I couldn't believe it. No more computer crashes, no more slovenly performance, no more hanging up on shutdown and interminable startup times.

I was then confronted with finding another program to supplant Norton. I searched Cnet and came up with PC-Cillin! This program works great. I does not degrade performance one iota! No hanging up on shutdown or interminable startup times. This program works silently in the background and is literally updated daily in 3 - 5 seconds. I couldn't possibly be more pleased.

For the life of me I cannot understand how a company as distinguished as Symantec could fritter away all their goodwill and reputation by putting out a program that is quite simply awful.

Do yourself a favor. Forget Norton and McAffee. PC-Cillin is incomparably better. My computer, for the first time in 18 months, works like it was brand new.

I am a casual pc user who gave up using Norton and Macafee 3 years ago because of persistent problems I encountered with both programs - interminible running times and poor tech support to mention but 2. After reading PC Mags review of PC-cillin, I purchased the disc and have never regretted the choice since. Yes there are some problems from time to time but, I have always been able to either resolve them myself or get help from their tech support. They get my vote.

Slim "westsideb, there's a reason why programs have things called "requirements" that need to be payed attention to. I've been in the pc world for 20+ years and this program works flawlessly for me.
