There are beter antivirus than Norton. Jun 17, 2005

My subscription to the Norton AntiVirus update will expire in a month. I just wanted to update but got a notice that my specific version (AntiVirus 2003) is no longer supported, which means that I can extend my subscription but won't receive any support in case the software itself gets damaged or does not work.

They do offer a "special price" for upgrading to a more recent version (along with some other software that I don't need), but before I make a decision I wanted to know what other choices I have.

I've heard a lot about McAfee and AVG AntiVirus. The latter one offers a subscription period of two instead of only one year, as McAfee and Symantec do.

I am not dissatisfied with Symantec just don't feel like upgrading to a fancy bundle that I really don't need.

Any comments appreciated.

TIA.

Dear Sonja, I have had Norton for 2 years, but then I discovered PC Cillin from Trend micro and for the same price, I find it very very good and feel now safe with my PC. Just try it!
Best regards, Barbara Jarczak

F-Secure Jun 17, 2005

I run F-secure since last automn and happy with it. Mail is scanned automatically and bugware is removed, but the messages come through.
With Antivir I had never any trouble, but when once it found a virus it deleted the whole mail folder. When I switched to ZoneAlarms Antivirus package I found out there were several viruses on my hard-disc, which Antivir never had mentioned.
There is no free lunch, and the 70 Euro for F-Secure seem well spent.
Regards
Heinrich

AVG Free Edition Jun 17, 2005

Hi Sonja,

My husband and I have been using the AVG free edition for 3+ years now and it is great. We have two machines and a small network to share the broadband connection. This program proved to be very reliable, neither of us has had a virus since we downloaded that free version.

I completely agree with the above.
I also use AVG free for 5 years, I never had a virus (it catches everything and put it in a vault where you can delete it yourself) or a problem with it. It install and uninstall very easily (if needed) and I update manually every day when I start to work.

Another antivirus... Jun 18, 2005

...to add to your collection is Kaspersky AntiVirus. The latest version Kaspersky AntiVirus Personal MP3 (to be released in June, I think) has some interesting features.
