just curious, i was working on my neighbors computer a couple days ago and he had norton and i wanted to punch the ******* computer.



I use a combo, Zone Alarm Pro (ever since i got that keylogger and nopistons got hacked) and avast, which is a free software, one of the best the only real disadvantage is you can't schedule scans.

symantec 9.0 (anti-virus only). The norton security suite is rediculously frustrating sometimes.

Trendmicro PC-cillin.



Throw norton security in the dumpster, it sucks.

We use AVG at work. Seems to work fine. Haven't had any issues with it. Use Spybot S & D and Norton at home. I had to get more RAM so my comp would start faster, used to take like 10mins to get started once Norton got put on here. Norton sucks ***.
