Pretty neat but they should also (or maybe they did, i dunno) show a comparison of how often updates come out ... cuz for norton ... its damn near every 20 minutes :)
 
I have very bad experience with Norton friend. I will explain now

I got a new computer and there were little annoying things that turned to major errors. I almost went to the shop to get it fixed. these were problem i had

1. The computer would take 10 mins to turn off and restart
2. All internet browsers stopped working (ff/ie and opera)
3. Ever program i installed would hang and so I would have to resart and do a system restore
4. word documents would not open


so before i took my pc to the shop to get fixed I decided to de-install norton and put on Nod32 to see if it picked any viruses Norton missed.

But after deinstall my pc worked fine again. All the problems stopped

some of you may think i may be bashing Norton on purpose but im not, i caused me alot of hassle and worry.
 
norton.... even after uninstallation it gives problem actually...
AVG is good n free too.... avast nod32 r also good.... norton creates lots problems...
if u waana buy any antivirus ... i would like to suggest McAfee... its best...
i was using it... n i found it is best .... now i m using cheaper one...
