Internet security and antivirus

[joecar]

I'm using Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus, the auto update does not work, and I generally hate the two products (came with my Dell)...
and their license is about to expire in about 1 week...

does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should be using (and why)...?

Thanks, I do appreciate your thoughts.

I use McAfee at home, and NAV at work. Never had a problem with McAfee, and would use it at work if all our vendors supported it's use.

Trend Micro PC Cillian (probably spelt wrong) is supposed to be good.

The only way to go is Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition, It does Antivirus and mal-ware. I run it on over 2000 computers and server, Netware\Linux and Windows 2k3 Server but it works just as well on one desktop. It also uses alot less resources then others.

The fact your live update is not working is not a good thing, could be a virus or maybe your subscription is out of date

Firewall, no need to run anything other then the default firewall in winXP SP2, Norton Internet Security cause more problems then it can fix...

If you want more detail on Corporate Edition just PM me

Give this a try if you think you might be infected

(You guys are going to freak at all the crap it finds that Norton couldn't.)

I like free and I was running out of time so I'm giving it a spin.

lol, Symantec was tough to uninstall, it just did not want to die, but it's gone now.

You think Symantec is bad to remove.. Try removing the AOL software someone installed on their computer when they did the full install.. I had a buddy that didnt know much about computers. He installed everything on his HP and then had problems a year later.. That stuff was soo embedded in the hard drive it kept re-installing itself when you removed part of it and then rebooted the computer. I finally got pissed off and reformatted the whole damn thing, viola.. AOL free !
