* Several versions of Norton Antivirus, Norton Internet Security (or whatever it was called)
//Not brilliant, but better than Trend Micro
//No longer touch Symantec/Norton AV+FW
* McAffeeeeee....
//last time I used that was in Dundee (NE of Edinburgh) 1999..2002
//had continual problems with it, hated it, still refuse to touch it
* Trend Micro PC-cillin 2003 Internet Security (Antivirus & Firewall)
//this was <b>totally useless</b>, ditched it a few months back when sponsored license expired
//I only had it on a PC bcos I got it 'free'
//(now you know what %previsp% is, as well as IB that I use)
* F-Secure Internet Security 2004
//i am a long-time user of F-Secure going back to 1998
//probably the best at real-time detection
//probably the best at automatically & incrementally downloading updates
// everytime you connect (dial-up) without hogging bandwidth (all configurable)
//sometimes hangs when trying to scan files locked by OS
//Expensive, both initial license as well as renewal license
//Firewall tweaking is not for the novice (<i>see EZ Armor</i>)
//Does not protect server products, for that you have to spend
// way more cash on other F-Secure products
//2005 version integrates with irritating 'new' WinXP(P)SP2 Security Centre AV+FW thing
* Computer Associates eTrust EZ Armor (eTrust EZ Antivirus & eTrust EZ Firewall)
//<i>shameless pl-g</i>: www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/
//Seriously this is the best av+fw I have used
// in terms of features, usability, quick to get it going,
// you don't have to be a firewall expert it is way easier
// than F-Secure's Distributed Firewall
//It claims to work with server products - exchange server
// personally I haven't tried that yet, but I will soon
//On the downside, F-Secure is rated as being slightly better at real-time scanning
// but so far it has not missed anything
//If you are logged on with a user account that
// is only a member of the Users group, AV-Autodownload fails.
// F-Secure is way better with auto-updating definitions etc.
//Reasonably priced, especially renewal license.
