Went back to Norton

External Since: May 24, 2006 Posts: 25

I tried all those other AV programs you all suggested and I just
couldn't learn the interface. They all seemed to need a lot of
attention. One of them wouldn't allow a scan of a single file with a
right-click [if it did then it was not seen by me]

So, I am back to my old Norton, slow and sluggish as hell and hogging
all the memory it can find.

comments are welcome.
thanks.

To be fair, if you are not obsessive with your computer's cleanness,
Norton is not as bad as many people suggest and it's more than enough
for home computer, sure, it clogs, yes, it may not catch as many
viruses as KAV, but it does do its job, if not excellently, and if you
are careful with your on-line behavior, there wont be that much viruses
for you to catch, as far as I'm concerned, all AV are more or less the
same, all have their pros and cons, NOD32 is excellent with viruses,
but not so good with trojan horse, KAV is excellent on all accounts,
but sometimes it's a little too good, I experienced one incident in
which KAV killed my proxy tools, so if you are not big target like
financial institutions, if you are already familiar with one type of
AV, stick with it.
