How Good Is Your Anti-virus/anti-trojan?

[Samurai]

Well I can't be bothered to go back and see how that AV fared in this test, but I've used Norton for many years now, and swear by it.



Norton SystemWorks 2004 is available on P2P networks if you're interested.

Key Features:

Norton AntiVirus™

Norton Utilities™

Norton™ Password Manager

Norton Goback™ Personal Editon

Norton Cleansweep™

i used to use that nortons, but it was to resource hogging...mind you i had a shitty computer back then.Now i got a raid setup/mirror image on a real beast of a machine i must try it again when i get some time

edit: pc-cillin is the goods!!!

These type of packages and threads should be sent to the Virus protector providor. So they know.and fix and apologize.and pay us tons of cash for helping them-seriously

I updated to System Works 2004 pro and was very disapointed. It hoggs resources, constantly deletes my hacking/cracking tools even when I exclude its folder and files, and was too much of a pain in the ass.

I un-installed it and went back to Norton System Works 2003

Anyone No which is better Norton Anvirus 03/04 or Norton Corporate Edition?
I have heard alot of people saying that coporate edition is better and to stay away from regular norton.

Someone please elaborate.

The corporate edition is better because don't eat all resources like Norton Antivirus does.

I just wanted to know if Norton anti-virus has better defense and detection than corporate edition, I don't care about resources cause it only takes about 2% cpu and 12 mb memory.

Do they use the same core engine?

Pc-cillin is a joke.

Stay away from Norton - use McAfee or AVG.

Did no one take this package to a website that does online scanning?
Ive been waiting for someone to post to that effect

Anybody wanna tell me what's wrong with norton. It caught 600 on mine. Everyfile is infected except readme.txt

[excalis]

McAfee is very bad to have. Its process threads can be easily killed with a simple executible. One day I used a .vbs file and mcafee got killed. Most viruses have a built in code to shut down Vshield and disable startup. Even if the proccess is killed in Norton its still active in the kernel memory and will still protect. Avg is average at best.

Norton & Zonealarm are unbeatable together.
