Symantec is the name of the company. Norton is the name of the product line. So, you are referring to the same thing - there is no difference.

It seems to be the norm on Yahoo Answers to slam Norton products. However, if you look at some independant reviews you'll find that Norton consistently comes in the top 5, whereas virtually all the others recommended here do not.

Here's one:

Choose who you want to believe - independant experts? Or a bunch of amateurs on Yahoo? Your choice.
Have you tried any of these free anti-virus software http://www.basicspywaretips.com/freeviru...
my friend its the same. symantec is the corporation of that product.
Neither they are both crap, the problem is they are so well known the virus writers set out to target them. I would opt for avast free,AVG free, or Zone Alarm all free and very good protection.
It is the same product.
