Which do you think is a better Anti Virus?

I bought Norton Internet Security twice total $160 and I gotta say that was a total waste of my money. Don't get me wrong it did what it was supposed to but it was just bulked with a bunch shit features and it lagged my computer even more >_< So a few weeks ago my subscription ended again so I downloaded McAfee to give it a shot. It is so much better the full system scan ends in 1 hour rather than 3 everything is simple and it doesn't lag my computer. I'm never buying Norton again

Avast.
But between Norton and McAfee I like MCF.

I'd put AVG, Zone Alarm and Kaspersky above both of those 2, but I wouldn't touch Norton if you paid me...so McAfee out of those 2.

[Melchoire]

McAfee and Norton were the only ones that were popular Mind explaining the pros of AVG or ZoneAlarm?

AVG is free, and Zone Alarm is powerful, yet easy to use.

LW care to link me to Kaspersky and Zone Alarm "trials"? PM me mkay?

Norton , but both are horrible, I recommend BitDefender or AVG, norton used to be good, but after 2003 it got bad

the enterprise editions aren't as bad as the home user editions, but both norton and mcaffee are both pretty bad. i would recommend nod32

[ArchAngel.]

Neither...
I agree with LW.
Kaspersky is probably the best.
It's been working wonders for me.

[Neo]

I would rather have no anti-virus than norton .

Mcafee, if I haven't got anything else.

And Kaspersky or NOD32, if I want something decent

AVG is a good one. It is free and doesn't lag my crappy computer at all.

[Greeny]

Well i heard the new norton doesnt hog memory, but still, old habits die hard. I would go mcaffe but then i would go niehter, kaspersky owns, and nod32 is 2#!

It is all about Avast! but McAfee out of the two

CLAMWIN! http://www.clamwin.com/

It's the BEST virus detecctor. It's so good, when I ran it on my computer, it analyzed the keyboard and told me I had human papillomavirus. A doctor confirmed this for me.

Seriously, its free to (ported from LINUCKZ). BUT. It only detects virii. It does not remove them. BUT. Google can find you tons of stingers (stand alone targetted virii removers). Others googling cnahow you how tor emove.

In options you cxan set it to remove files that are infected, but that is not reocmended.

I totally agree Avast is free and ten times better than mcafee, norton or avg (er. i hate avg cpu killer)

[Tormentedsoul14]

Id prefer Zone Alarm personally but if I had to pick I would go with McAfree.

[Redblade]

If i were really to choose out of both it would be mcafee..norton hogs your system no matter what..freewares like AVG, ZoneAlarm works wonders
and i would strongly recommend ClamWin for a thorough scan of your C:\...i took about 4 hours to finish scanning mine..

[Raui]

Kaspersky is by far the best, even though I have NO internet security on this computer i've used it before lol.

[Rufio]

long long time ago, on the norton side i was...
but it sucked too hard for me to stay put....

tried kaspersky, bitdefender and then AVG...
usin AVG now and yet to find an AV that suits ... >.<
chose to experiment with those 3 coz they were the top choice when i searched google for reviews

Norton corporate is STILL the best anti-virus on the market, if your after a very very good anti-virus panda is the way to go its along side Kaspersky.
