avg does not suck, get avg pro 7 if you can find it, think its still @ suprnova
stay away from norton products

17 trojans on an AVG protected system would indicate to me that it doesn't do quite enough protecting, either.
The owner of that system asked me to install NAV so after I'd sorted out his computer, I did.

I personally have found NAV2003, NIS2003, SAV9, SCS2 and KAV4 to be perfectly good solutions and believe NOD32 to be another worthwhile investment, but I don't recommend AVG any more.

a week a go i cleaned a friends comp.......... had 4 virii on it........... virii NAV 2004 DIDNT stop...... couldnt stop, cause they were on it to long (not longer that NAV though).......

i had to remove em with AVG..........





what im saying is that no AV 100% fullprove

to my experience, NAV just hoggs to much resources for the minimal extra protection it gives.........

True, none of them can guarantee virus-free computing.

Resources vs protection? I know which one I choose, and all the Norton, Symantec & Kaspersky products I&#39;ve used appear to have the same impact on my system; that being that they&#39;re only noticeable when they pop up a warning or update themselves. Perhaps it&#39;s something to do with the settings.

If you have a resident shield enabled them what the hell do you expect? It&#39;s constantly scanning and checking the files you access, on demand. So yes it&#39;s going to use some resources. How much depends on your pc and what it can handle.

For example, I wouldn&#39;t recommend trying to run anything Norton on a pc with 128 megs of ram. Not saying any of your pc&#39;s are that slow but suprisingly some people out there seem to believe they can get away with stuff like that.

I had both Norton and AVG installed when I downloaded a lot. Sometimes Norton would pick up infected files that AVG didn&#39;t detect, and vice-versa.


When I cleaned out my PC earlier this year, I decided to kept AVG Pro only. But for some strange reason, the key(s) that I used made my copy of the program invalid and changed the expiration date from several years to several days (Perhaps it was Gridsoft&#39;s way of disabling pirated copies?).

Well, I currently have Norton Corp on my PC, I haven&#39;t encountered any problems (so far).

just head on over to norton&#39;s public beta section and get norton AV 2005 beta

works fine so far, AND ITS FREE&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
