[sorellavanh]

What anti virus is best protection with Adsl? Is Norton 2003 sufficient?

Avast is free

And for those who cant mind read... Avast can be downloaded from http://www.avast.com/
The home license is free, you've just gotta find the right form to fill out

Using Norton Internet Security on my XP Home box and Trend Micro Internet Security on my XP pro box and no major problems thus far. For close to a year if you need a time frame.

I have Norton 2003 (paid for). I tried to download Avast (free) but received a message to say that it detected Norton and the two could "clash"? I see that Nod 32 is not free. What do you suggest? It makes sense that one should have two or three anti-virus programs running.
Look forward to your advice. Sorella

Why would you want 2 or three av products running? If you knew how they actually integrate into the system / email process and a ton of other features, you would freak with even the thought of having 2 running at the same time. You should already have a firewall processing traffic and emails as well as an av product basically doing the emails, trojans and files. With 2 AV's loaded, as the one scans a large file, the other picks up file changes and scans the same file. Both of these examples will slow down your machine and connection

1x AV (updated definitions)
1x firewall (setup correctly)
1x decent spyware remover

This is all thats required.

I use absolutely-nothing-lite-0.1 in combination with common-sense-1.3 and fairly often linux-is-safer-online-2.6

They've served me well for the last 2 years

Firefox eliminates the need for anti-spyware products.

Yeah for now...
As Firefox usage grows, the spyware will follow.
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft "sponsored" a few hacking groups to hack fifo...

Best AV i've ever used. Decently price.
Even if you don't go for this go for ANYTHING other than Norton. It is the worst AV out

ANYTHING other than Norton. It is the worst AV out

Correction :

ANYTHING other than Norton and McAfee. They are the worst AV out ...


I use AVG 7 Free and ZoneAlarm 4.5 Pro .... and for those who use eMule installing Protowall will go a long way ... youll be amazed at how many attempts it blocks out.

PEACE!!!

Why do you have this opinion? Neither I nor any of my associates have had problems?

Please clarify.

Thanks.
