Story: Does anybody like Norton AntiVirus?

I LOVE Norton Internet Security 2005

Having a solid firewall and antivirus program on your computer slows it down, but consider the alternative!

I'm sorry but doing the best job at keeping the nasties out is the only issue I'm going to consider.

My advice: the best firewall + as many AV products and antispyware products as you want.

Norton Internet Security 2005 = NAV + Norton Personal Firewall + more

Then add any AV product on top of that that strikes your fancy. Symantec is not God. It's entirely possible that someday there will be some virus that NAV misses and someone else catches.

Keep an eye on www.virusbtn.com and buy whichever AV offering seems to be the best.

NAV catches viruses in incoming e-mail all the time (fewer recently for some reason, my isp is filtering), and for this I am eternally grateful.

Rock on, Symantec.
