Norton Alternatives

Wednesday, March 22, 2006 by icedevil6 | Discussion: Personal Computing

Ok, I've used Norton Anti-virus since I can remember. It seems like it has become more and more airtight, so much so that now all it does is stop alot of MY processes, halt installations, and pause downloads. It's really become a hassle. I was wondering if Norton was still the best Anti-virus out there and if it wasn't what was. If it is still the best than what else can I try that will keep me safe?

Macafee?
AVG?
Panda?
Any suggestions?

I agree with XtremeOne, NOD32 is awesome, and it kind of understates things to call it an alternative to Norton. Not only is it very fast, but also has the best heuristics, so it catches a lot without always needing signatures.

Ewido (http://www.ewido.net/) and Prevx1 (http://www.prevx.com/) too. They all do different things, I use all three (although you can just use the freeware version of Ewido for manual scans).
