I use norton, only because somewon I know bought it already and I hear its ok anti-viruse, anyone know anything else that is free thats better?
The latest McAffee, I think its pretty good. I dunno though, I used to use Norton but swicthed when every1 said mcAfee owned norton, I dunno which is best now lol.
It cant hurt to have to many anti-viruses. I use Avast, Zone alarm and nod32. I prefer nod32 since it picks up almost anything. sometimes it will pick up a Backdoored app but rarely, its free and offers Internet Scans, email scans, Execution scans (scan files before it runs), mdb scans. you can find it at www.eset.com
No, I do believe is you have more than 1 firewall (and I think anti virus as well) running at the same time they overlap each other or something and its as if you dont have a firewall at all.
I use Avast!, AVG Free, Ewido anti-malware, and norton I also use ad-aware, Spybot - search and destroy and Spyware Blaster Can't be too protective its a virus jungle out there!
I found Symantec's AV to work nicely... It's not as hogging as norton. Nod32 is not free, tho. It's only free for 30 days, but it is good.
http://symantec.com/product/index.html Symantec AV is more for large businesses that have 500+ Client PC's. but you can use it at home just as easily. Norton is owned by Symantec, but Norton and Symantec are like two different companies. I'm getting a headache trying to explain this. Norton <> Symantec (<> means "not equal")
