I wouldn't install Symantec/Norton anything on my machines. They pollute the registry and waste too many clock cycles doing a mediocre job. Products have been written specifically to clean up after the mess they leave behind. Even uninstalling them can do bad things. Yech.

Yeah, windows is pretty crappy. Nobody has written a virus on QNX either, which is what I develop on, but the application base is pretty small on that OS. Sort of like a Mac.

I don't know what all Norton Security is supposed to do, but I use AVG for virus (far better than Norton) and both Spybot S&D and Spyware blaster for spyware control. I also use ZoneAlarm for a firewall, but since I have a hardware firewall ZoneAlarm hasn't got much to do. I've also heard good things about Avast for viruses but have no personal experience with it. BTW, when I dumped NAV and installed AVG it found a half dozen viruses that got by NAV.

bvance, I don't think anyone blamed Norton for the problem related in this thread. Yes, NAV mostly works, but other products work better.

You're right, Symantec has lots of corporate customers - customers that have big budgets and IT staffs that are paid to fix problems and restore from backups. But there are better products. In my experience you could install AVG on almost any Norton protected internet connected computer and find viruses that NAV missed. But, hey, that's the corporate IT staffs responsibility. For home users a more reliable product is called for. IMHO of course, you're free to disagree and use and recommend whatever you want.
