McAfee is the worst I've ever seen.
It slowed down my computer horribly every time it did a scan or updated.
But
What's the point in getting a legal anti-virus program that will work for a year only?
Just wondering...:whistling
symantec my opinion
Norton's... it made my computer as slow as hell :pinch: Heard it changed and is now pretty fast, though.Quote:

Norton for me. its the worst
symantec and nortorn
Avira , I have it since 5 years
Well I must say Norton, back in days it use to catch no virus and made the system damn busy./
Lately them have improvised there technology,
still I will never get back to them.
:( Well I thinks the question is worst av in your opinion,Quote:

I had Norton some time ago and I concur it used to be damn slow. As I remember, Kaspersky was not big deal too. Recently I have some experience with Avast! – same like Norton. In contrast with these encounters I was pretty much satisfied with NOD.
Norton for me.
Bitdefender for me
norton must be. when i used it, my pc looked much slower, and when i check with other av, they always find virus norton forget to check.
Norton. I've never liked it and never will.
It's a ton of bloatware if you ask me. :dry:
McAFee is the worst one ,,,
Norton Anti Virus for me
Slows down the pc as hell
Norton and Symantec, I haven't used them for over 5 yrs so maybe they are better now with the new technology os etc
But i can remember putting norton on then while it was scanning i got infected and it removed some stuff out of my system 32 folder which in turn gave me a bsod
Symantec was just slow and heavy on the cpu.
I'll stick with the free version of avira-2yrs and counting.
Yep I second that .Quote:

Norton! made my pc slow,never liked it..
Nod32 is my favorite
Norton
Norton/all antivirus software
I must admit I'm not a huge fan of nod32, as the last time I used it (around a year ago) it would start before windows and take a long time.Quote:

I mean, its no where near as bad a norton, but I most likely wouldn't use it again.
Worst ones I've tried out are AVG and Norton...
I never used any of the newer versions of NOD32. They became crapware IMO.
I stuck to NOD32 v2.7 until I decided to try Avira... I don't have any regrets. :happy:
norton is crap and avg did me good till about a year ago
using security essentials now
I'm use Microsoft Security Essentials
He is very good
Symantec/Norton's gotta be the worst. Slow, bloated, and enough of a pain to remove that you end up thinking "Maybe it'd just be quicker to format". Plus, how many companies make software that has it's own removal tool, not counting spyware makers?
Norton2010 is very good :P
I hate norton antivirus and avast... I'm looking for a free good one.

Symantec and Norton are bad. AVG, NOD32, ESET, Kaspersky are the good AVs. You can probably get those free from other sources :)
f-secure , i had a very bad experience with this antivirus
I think bitdefender is the worst anti virus 4 me
NOD32 for me :)
trend micro is the worst
I don't really know why but I don't like avast nor avg =/
