What other AV products are there? Panda Soft, MaFee (nortan clone), and what? (I noticed you said the one you linked to Fyron is crappy software so I guess that one is out.

*does a double take*
What??? The one I linked to is the _best_. Norton is the crappy software. Kaspersky is awesome.

My apologies, I miss read what you posted. Thank you for the recommendation I will be checking it out.

Whatever you do, do not buy any more Norton/Symantec products.

You seem to have the worst of luck with anything related to corporate software.
Symantec is what we use at work and it works perfectly 100% of the time. We have never had any scares with major virus' breaking out in the office because Symantec does its job. We also do not have to shell out the big bucks all the time like you say people do in order to keep up to date.

Re: OT: What Should I Do?
Corporate editions are not in any way equivalent to consumer editions. You pay a lot more for the corporate licenses anyways...

Re: OT: What Should I Do?
My sister's computer came preinstalled with Norton. That was impossible to uninstall. Kept interfering with other anti-virus programs.

Re: OT: What Should I Do?
I have to say thank you to David. I took him up on the online scan recommendation and voila, six, count them six, virus hits for things that NORTAN should have detected and killed. SIX!
All of them should have been detected by NORTAN in my last scan which was this morning, but NO.... Nortan doesn't even work!

Re: OT: What Should I Do?
we ahve a total of three computers connected to the interent in my house, all of which run both Norton AV and internet security, professional edition. We have never had any problem with them or with updates. Though this may just be me...
On a side note, using the hacker tracker that come with Norton, my dad has found that Microsoft (and other large, presumably OK corporations) have tried to get into our computer. Not in the manner of dumping cookies but actually trying to access personall information.

Re: OT: What Should I Do?
Norton doesn't work because you have to subscribe to get virus updates. Subscribing is kinda expensive, and noone does it.
