The free shit is better than either of those. They've got popups trying to sell you more protection every six seconds.

No and no. Are you looking for a paid or a free service?


-- Posted by Samthemagicman at 3:05 pm on Jan. 27, 2008

Either AVG or Avast.

Norton is a virus.

It ruins computers.


-- Posted by TashaTiffany at 3:07 pm on Jan. 27, 2008

I symantec antivirus, whatever that is.


-- Posted by Lewdness at 3:07 pm on Jan. 27, 2008

I'm going to second (third, fourth?) the AVG. Really great although I don't think the free version has realtime protection.

AdAware is also really good.

No ways. Norton has faster updates and better results and is less of a resource hog then McAfee. I'd rather run off a guest account then entrust my computer to McAfee.

both do suck though.

Then you must be doing something wrong...

I have been using AVG for two years now, on three different computers, and it cleans up after Norton.

If its not working, I have my doubts that there is something wrong with the program.

Free:
AVG or
avast!

If you are paying go for:
Kaspersky

The problem with KAS is that for it to be truly effective it becomes somewhat of a burden for most people. There's a line between productivity and security and KAS tends to cross it all too often.

McAfee is good because already services it.
