They switched to Norton a week ago and I got a nasty rogue antivirus that wouldn't let me run any apps - not even task manager. Ran a full system scan with updated Norton ( it was set for early load ) and it didn't find a thing, Booted in safe mode and mbam did the trick.

Maybe there is a rogue calling itself Malware Defender 2009, but there is a legit software called Malware Defender 2.4. I'm guessing someone decided to name a rogue software after a legit one and because lots of security software has the year as part of its moniker, many people would easily mistake the two and go for the rogue one as it has the current year in its name.

It will need time to improve. But more people uses Norton, so it will go faster. I just hope that Symantec will win WAY more percentage of people's faith in them in there next years. But Norton did good on this test. Matt, you should retest Norton in March 2010. Might improve by then =DD Well, Insight is just like ThreatCast in Comodo IS. It will need time to improve.

But some things it won't detect till it does a malicious activity. Did you restart the PC to see if the rogue modifys anything on boot up and blocks it? Can't wait to see the video review.

It caught the malware but the AV assigned it a low security risk and so it was allowed to download and install.I thought I remember something similar happening in one of your videos.
