About Antivirus Comparison

["Ricardo de Faria" <ricardodefaria () globo com>]

When Norton AV scan ends it does NOT report that it had failed to scan an
encripted or password protected .zip file, for instance.

If you have a .zip file with a virus within when you open it you could have
a surprise...

AntiVirR DOES this and is updated at least once a day (There are days when
you get, say, 3 updates!).

AntiVirR has a free personal Edition for home use: http://www.free-av.com/

Cordially,

Hi ...
I don't know if we can make a comparison between antivirus softwares,
But I am sure that an AV noadays is NO LONGER ENOUGH.
I am using Norton AV and I like it, But I am using Norton Internet
Security too ( Antispam, Firewall, ...). I am using Spysweeper and
Adaware to keep spywares away of my PC.
Note : A week ago, With All these "defense lines" active. The spyware
"CoolWebSearch" got in to my pc and I couldn't remove it untill I used
the last definition file for Adaware.

Good luck ..

Hi All.

For years I've been using Norton antivirus products but lately I'm
hearing that Norton is no longer the de facto antivirus solution. I'm
interested in hearing what antivirus products are considered to be the
best for both enterprise and private use. As always, all comments are
welcome. Thanks.
