May Updates: Next Update - June

This is what I use. I don't really have to worry about firewalls because I am behind a NAT router with SPI. However, do you know of any good FREE anti-trojan programs?

Mcafee Anti-Virus is possibly the worst one out there, not only is it very slow, but it also isnt updated as often as Norton.

Norton in my opinion is by far the worst

Why do you think Norton is the worst?

because.. I had a virus that norton didnt catch(fully updated) and mcafee did without updatesd

When, what version of Norton, and what virus?

About a year ago.. you do the math on wat version.. I dont remeber which virus

I will Never buy another Norton/Symantec product as long as I live

Awhile back (approx 2 yrs.) both of my computers became infected with a Worm virus. From my understanding a worm virus moves/installs itself into other folders/programs all by itself.

Well.. 33,000 files were found by Norton anti-virus, but that is all it would do is recognize that they were there. It would not quarantine or delete any of them. Norton anti-virus left me standing in the cold!

Ever since that date I have used Panda Anti-virus and haven't run into any further quarantine/delete problems. A few times it has popped up a warning telling me the file I downloaded was infected with a virus and immediately deleted or removed it from my computer.


Panda has my vote when it comes to detecting AND removing viruses.. Norton, well.. they can pucker up and kick my bottom!

I had the same problem SW......... Mcafee and worked just fine for me and I hope that this thread will give Norton uses a warning.

I had a similiar problem, only McAffee was the culprit and Norton was the victor. A "Free Computer Help Forum" should appoint someone to get alot of different viruses/worms and test all the major AV suites and see who comes up first. *cough* neo *cough*

Give me links to the viruses.. Ill try them out on my dad's main work server.. nah, Ill just do it on his laptop
