Yesterday, my debian setup was acting up, but I didn't think much about it. Whenever I was trying to access password vault/manager from firefox, I was getting error "something went wrong, try again later".

A few hours ago, I logged into the windows 10 pro, and it seemed normal at first glance. But the password vault was not opening there. I tried to update the firefox, but it said "couldnt check for updates". I thought something was up with password vault, so I tried to look it up online.

Surprisingly, I couldnt open any domain containing the name "norton".

So as I do regularly, I ran the live update, and initiated a full system scan. Thats when the CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 caught my eye when Norton 360 was scanning it. The complete scan did not detect any threats.

I looked it up, and as per suggestions, I tried to run Norton Power Eraser, but in the very beginning, it could not connect to the server, and it failed completely to scan the system.

In either case, I am not able to visit any page to Norton, not getting connected to the server(s) of antiviruses including Norton.

After posting the question above, I tried to install Avast, but it said could not connect to the internet. So I installed it with offline installer. After initiating the installer, I got a pop-up saying Windows defender (or security) is not available (something along these lines).

Norton AntiVirus is an anti-virus or anti-malware software product founded by Peter Norton, developed and distributed by Symantec (now Gen Digital) since 1990[1] as part of its Norton family of computer security products. It uses signatures and heuristics to identify viruses. Other features included in it are e-mail spam filtering and phishing protection.

Symantec distributes the product as a download, a box copy, and as OEM software. Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security, a related product, held a 25% US retail market share for security suites as of 2017. Competitors, in terms of market share in this study, include antivirus products from McAfee, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky Lab.[2]

In May 1989, Symantec launched Symantec Antivirus for the Macintosh (SAM).[5] SAM 2.0, released March 1990, incorporated technology allowing users to easily update SAM to intercept and eliminate new viruses, including many that didn't exist at the time of the program's release.[6]

In August 1990 Symantec acquired Peter Norton Computing from Peter Norton.[7] Norton and his company developed various DOS utilities including the Norton Utilities, which did not include antivirus features. Symantec continued the development of acquired technologies. The technologies are marketed under the name of "Norton", with the tagline "from Symantec". Norton's crossed-arm pose, a registered U.S. trademark, was traditionally featured on Norton product packaging.[8] However, his pose was later moved to the spine of the packaging, and eventually dropped altogether.[9]

By early 1991, U.S. computers were invaded by hundreds of foreign virus strains and corporate PC infection was becoming a serious problem. Symantec's Norton Group launched Norton AntiVirus 1.0 (NAV) for PC and compatible computers.[11] Ads for the product, with suggested retail $129, featured Norton in his crossed-arm pose, wearing a pink shirt and surgical mask covering his nose and mouth.

Due to bug in the software, the original Norton Antivirus 1.0 does not repair infected files or boot sectors properly. This was fixed when version 1.5 was released in June 1991, along with the addition of the option of installing multiple scan levels of the Norton Antivirus Intercept (later renamed to Norton Antivirus Auto-Protect starting off with Norton Antivirus 3.0 released in September 1993.

Norton Antivirus 2.0 was released in December 1991, and introduced the feature of creating a rescue disk, which would include the partition table, CMOS settings memory information, and boot sector of a hard disk of an MS-DOS computer system. This is very handy in case a virus that its definitions do not detect, overwrite this information or move the boot sector to a different location of the hard disk.

Norton Antivirus 3.0, released in September 1993, introduced a very unique feature. Unlike other antivirus software products for MS-DOS and early Windows, which will only notify you to turn off your computer, but continue anyway, Auto-Protect or the main program will scan for viruses in memory before loading themselves. If they find a virus loaded into memory, they will halt the entire computer so that you can't even perform a warm boot (Ctrl+Alt+Delete), So that you can turn off your computer from the power and turn it back on again with a clean, uninfected system disk. Most often, this can either be the rescue disk created, or the original MS-DOS system installation disk, followed by the Norton Antivirus program installation disks. This feature is the safest way to deal with any kind of virus in memory. Norton Antivirus 3.0 is also the first version for Windows 3.1.

Norton AntiVirus 2009 was released on September 8, 2008. Addressing performance issues, over 300 changes were made, with a "zero-impact" goal.[21][22]Benchmarking conducted by Passmark Software PTY LTD highlights its 47-second install time, 32 second scan time, and 5 MB memory utilization. Symantec funded the benchmark test and provided some scripts used to benchmark each participating antivirus software.[23]

The FBI confirmed the active development of Magic Lantern, a keylogger intended to obtain passwords to encrypted 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 and by Ted Bridis of the Associated Press.[28][29] 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 PGP encryption, often used to increase the security of sent email messages. When activated, the trojan will log the PGP password, which allows the FBI to decrypt user communications.[30] Symantec and other major antivirus vendors have whitelisted the Magic Lantern trojan, rendering their antivirus products, including Norton AntiVirus, incapable of detecting it. Concerns around this whitelisting include uncertainties about Magic Lantern's full surveillance potential and whether hackers could subvert it and redeploy it for purposes outside of law enforcement.[31][32]

Retail customers report slow and indifferent service on bugs. Examples include a faulty error message stating current subscriptions had expired.[40] Users received an error stating "Your virus protection cannot be updated." This error occurred after an update to the software and refused to allow daily updates.[40] Though the bug was reported in 2004, it was not corrected for the 2005 or 2006 versions.

The SANS Internet Storm Center claimed to have spoken to a Symantec employee who has confirmed that "the program is theirs, part of the update process and not intended to do harm."[51] Graham Cluley, a consultant from antivirus vendor Sophos found PIFTS connected to a Symantec server, forwarding product and computer information.[52]

From the 2009 to 2012 editions, Symantec made huge changes to their products' speed and performance. Norton products now have only 2 running processes, using about 24 MB of RAM.[60] As soon as a virus is recognized, information in regards to 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.[61] According to tests sponsored by 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.[62]PCMag recognises 2011 and 2012 lines as the fastest and strongest in protection.[63]PCWorld's tests of security software put Norton Internet Security 2009 in the 1st place.[64]In 2011, in a test of PCWorld, Norton Internet Security was the winner.[65] Dennis Technology Labs (in tests sponsored by Symantec) confirms the performance and effectiveness of Norton 2011 and 2012 lines.[66]

And yet, looking around for confirmation of this long-held belief quickly turns up an alternate universe, full of experts who insist that everyone should be paying for antivirus software. This advice comes not just from the companies that sell antivirus suites, but from reputable sites that perform antivirus software reviews (PCWorld included).

As far as current deals go, Norton is offering savings of up to 36-percent off antivirus products. Norton 360 Deluxe, for example, can be purchased for as low as $34.99 for the first year (instead of $49.99).

As of today, Comcast and Xfinity are no longer offering free Norton, and they're encouraging people to get on board with xFi. I've decided to use Windows Defender for my laptop (and maybe add a free malware program such as BitDefender as an extra precaution), but it occurred to me that I may need some kind of firewall protection and antivirus protection for my cell phone too. It's an Android on an Xfinity Mobile plan, and the default browser is Chrome, which I use daily.

Thanks for your reply. I knew that method. I am expecting an answer which is different from whitelisting and false positive submit. Because whitelising will take time to which I cant wait. Why antivirus vendors are not giving such false positive warnings to big companies files. What they do inoder to overcome that problem ? 0852c4b9a8
