Well, if you look at the results on that one, you can chose from a few.

If you combine it with the table above, then there's only one option.




NOD32


'cos hey, 44 seconds

According to the test, norton is the best.

No doubt Norton came out on top...is that not the Symantec emblem i see on the test results...christ anyone who runs a comparison test with their product is certainly going to come out on top...Norton 2004 was the worst product they ever released and they lost quite a few customers as a result...they are only trying to rehabilitate themselves with bullshit tests

What are you talking about? Symantec's symbol is a ying and yang sign that's half orange and half black. That's the triple-s logo

Triple-S is a security organization that has an antivirus of it's own under development.

My mistake..but the results are still bullshit...check the site listed below...out of the top 13 Anti-Viruses in a comparative test...Norton placed 8th.
when you get to the site click comparatives in the left column then in the new window click on online results for on demand comparative.

Alright man, I'm going to test it myself. I'll get back with the results.

Wish it were true ,mind you I'v never had a virus . Been using norton for 4 or 5 years .

I've used Avast, which I switched to H+BEDV Personal E after Avast crashed my sys. completely . Then I tried AVG just for the heck of it, which kind of sucked, because it didn't detect a virus that left some corrupted files that were impossible to delete without my recent format. I've tried PC-Cillen and I think it is pretty good before I switched back to H+BEDV, but workstation this time, untill the liecence has expired and switched to Nod32. I've used Norton on the other comp. and it was alright.
NOD32 is good but it consumes more resources than H+BEDV though.
I heard that Kaspersky is thier best, but I'm gonna try that after a while.
BTW: here are some tests you might be interested in

try this test, if ur AV fails then you should consider to switch ASAP to another BETTER av, because this should be detected by all Av progs.
