Are bundled security apps good or bad?
I’ve just installed an update to the Shockwave Player (interesting in itself as I only installed it yesterday) and had an offer to run a Norton Security scan as part of the installation.
My first reaction was irritation; I’ve already got security software. But then maybe there are people who don’t.
Maybe I’ll live with checking install options more carefully.

I think that all depends on what brand the bundled security app is. I don't feel it is a "one size fits all".

According to me Bundled security apps is good enough for computer. But the only problem you will face is speed. Your computer will get slow when you load Bundled security apps on that and in past i installed Norton Security which is good but it makes pc slow as earlier.

We use AVG free security software and are very happy with it. I'm all in favour of being safe on line, but it doesn't have to cost a fortune or affect the performance of your pc.

I mistakenly downloaded this app from norton, and now I can't get rid of the the bloody thing! I've tried to delete it but it keeps re-appearing. It's some kind of virus that norton and Adobe seem to be dishing out. Thanks a lot norton and adobe. There is no information on web site as to how to get rid of it.
