Origins

In May 1989, Symantec launched Symantec Antivirus for the Macintosh (SAM). [4] SAM 2.0, released March 1990, authored SAM to intercept and eliminate new viruses, including many that did not exist at the time of the program’s release. [5]

Criticism

FBI cooperation

The FBI confirmed the active development of Magic Lantern , a keylogger intended to obtain passwords to encrypt e-mail and other documents during criminal investigations. Magic Lantern was first reported in the media by Bob Sullivan of MSNBC on 20 November 2001 by Ted Bridis of the Associated Press . [27] [28] The FBI intends to deploy Magic Lantern in the form of an e-mail attachment . When the attachment is opened, it installs a trojan horse on the suspect’s computer, which is activated when the suspect uses PGPencryption, often used to increase the security of email messages. When activated, the PGP password, which allows the FBI to decrypt user communications. [29] Symantec and other major antivirus vendors have whitelisted the Magic Lantern trojan, rendering their antivirus products, including Norton AntiVirus, unable to detecting it. Concerns about this whitelisting include uncertainties about Magic Lantern ‘s full potential surveillance and hackers could subvert it and redeploy it for purposes outside of law enforcement. [30] [31]

Graham Cluley, a technology consultant from Sophos , said “We have no way of knowing if it was written by the FBI, and even if we did not, we would not know whether it was used by the FBI or if it had been ordered. by a third party “. [32] Another reaction came from Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer and co-founder of eEye Digital Security who states: “Our customers are paying for a service, to protect them from all forms of malicious code. to do law enforcement’s job for them, and will not, make any exceptions for law enforcement malware or other tools. ” [33]

Proponents of Magic Lantern argues the technology would be easy to enforce and quickly decrypt time-sensitive messages protected by encryption schemes. Implementing Magic Lantern does not require physical access to a computer suspect, unlike Carnivore , a predecessor to Magic Lantern, since a computer access to a computer would require a short order. [34] FBI spokesman Paul Bresson, in response to a question about whether or not it would be appropriate to deploy the software to the appropriate legal process. ” [35] [36]

Update disables legitimate software

On January 28, 2010 Symantec Anti-virus update marked Spotify as Trojan Horse disabling the software across millions of PCs. [37] [38]

Product support

Retail customers report slow and indifferent service on bugs. Examples include a faulty message stating current subscriptions had expired. [39] Users received an error stating “Your virus protection can not be updated.” This error occurred after an update to the software and refused to allow daily updates. [39] Though the bug was reported in 2004, it was not corrected for the 2005 or 2006 versions.

Another incident occurred in May 2007, when Norton AntiVirus flagged components of the Pegasus e-mail client as malicious, rendering the program corrupted. [40] Symantec customer service addressed the problem by running through a checklist of troubleshooting steps that were not always successful.

Faulty update

On July 25, 2006, Symantec released a faulty update for Norton AntiVirus 2006 users. Users reported an onscreen stating message “Norton AntiVirus 2006”. [41] Symantec Claimed the faulty update Was downloaded to customers entre 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM on July 25, 2006. Symantec has Developed workaround tool and HAS listed troubleshooting steps, disponible ici . The company released a statement, stating they expected to deliver a patch to affected users by Monday, July 31, 2006. ” [42]

Uninstallation

Norton AntiVirus has been deprecated to completely uninstall , leaving unnecessary files behind. [43] [44] Another issue is prior to 2009 versions installed LiveUpdate , qui updates Norton-branded software, separately. The user must uninstall both Norton AntiVirus and the LiveUpdate component manually. The LiveUpdate component is purposely left behind to other Norton-branded products, if present. [45] In response, Symantec developed the Norton Removal Tool (SymNRT) to remove the leftover registry keys and values ​​along with files and folders. [46]However, neither route of uninstallation would be allowed to subscribe data, but to prevent users from installing multiple trial copies. [ citation needed ]
SymNRT can only remove these Norton programs:

Once SymNRT has started the removal process, it can not be stopped. It is recommended to close all running programs to run SymNRT. ACT! and WinFax users are recommended to back up their databases before running SymNRT.

Incompatibilities with ZoneAlarm

Norton AntiVirus 2007 will not install alongside ZoneAlarm . Norton AntiVirus 2007 Norton AntiVirus 2007 with incompatibility. [47] Symantec recommends removing ZoneAlarm, then reinstalling it with its Internet Worm Protection feature disabled, which controls what applications can access the Internet and which protocols they use to do so.

On March 9, 2009, some users of Norton AntiVirus 2006 and 2007 experienced Norton-associated file firewall warning, “PIFTS.exe,” was trying to connect to the Internet . [48] While this file was first published in the last 12 days, Symantec removed the PIFTS file. With no information available on the subject of the program there was speculation that the program was malware or a backdoor . [49]

The SANS Internet Storm Center The Symantec employee who has confirmed that “the program is theirs, part of the update process and not intended to do harm.” [50] Graham Cluley, a consultant from antivirus vendor Sophos found PIFTS connected to a Symantec server, forwarding product and computer information. [51]

On March 10, Symantec made an official response to the PIFTS program, claiming the support posts in the forum Were deleted due to forum spam rules; however, the deletion of PIFTS-related posts [52] Symantec stated PIFTS itself was a diagnostic patch. [49] Cole stated that Windows 7- compatible versions of Norton AntiVirus would need to be migrated to Windows 7 . PIFTS apparently has been released with a digital signature to verify its identity, causing firewalls to prompt for permission to connect to the Internet. [53]

Consumer complaints

Comparison with other software

From the 2009 to 2012 editions, Symantec made huge changes to their products’ speed and performance. Norton products now only have 2 running processes, using about 24 MB of RAM. [59] Symantec engineers monitor said outbreaks of computer viruses to establish new viruses. As soon as a virus is recognized, information in the virus (a virus signature) is stored in a pandemic definitions file, which contains the vital know-how to become aware of and get rid of the virus. [60] According to Symantec, PassMark Security Benchmark 2012 Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security are the lightest suites available. Av-comparatives.org also tested these products and gave similar results. [61]PCMag Recognized 2011 and 2012 lines as the fastest and strongest in protection. [62] PCWorld’s tests of security software Norton Internet Security 2009 in the 1st place. [63] In 2011 testing of PCWorld, Norton Internet Security Was the winner. [ citation needed ] Dennis Technology Labs (powered by Symantec) confirms the performance and effectiveness of Norton 2011 and 2012 lines. [64]

Norton AntiVirus vs. GCSB Amendment Bill

On the 14th of August 2013 the Prime Minister of New Zealand John Key addressed what he identified as “misinformation” surrounding the GCSB Bill Amendment, claiming that the actions of the Government Security Communications Bureau were analogous to Norton AntiVirus. [65]
