Symantec needs to read some tutorials

Pathetic, glad I use kaspersky :> Norton's really gone down hill the last couple years and I guess they just keep sliding..

i'd recommend nod32

quite good results, and - what is much more important to me - the fastest scanner available and you turn off checking executables before they are being loaded, so you can scan just what YOU want

no problems so far with different software-products, while norton-bullshit is famous for it's problems. in addition, nav is designed for dummy-users

I got a virus becuse of Norton once. The virus was packed with UPX Norton didn't detect it.
Now I use kaspersky and know trouble yet.

Interesting related story from article pointed by MrAnonymous:
Does anybody like Norton AntiVirus? and this pragraph:
"So the situation right now is that Norton AntiVirus 2005 ?which costs more than AU$90 from Symantec�s Web site and is labelled "The world's most trusted antivirus solution" -- can be fooled by a simple script into turning off its auto-protect functionality and leaving the computer at a malicious user's mercy."

I'm using Kaspersky and it is fine but the problem is that it slows down the computer big time...ingoring the fact that on it took 3 hours to perform a full system scan on 2 drives.

Does anybody here have expirience with good anti vir/trojan tool that will work in background and be almost "invisible".

10x to all suggestion in advance

@AgentSmith

try nod32 - is fast and don't use much resources

or try avast home - it's free and new version is much faster then previous
