Everybody hates both these companies, for different reasons. There are many new ones out, I use:

'Ad-Aware SE Personal' and 'Spybot - Search & Destroy', recently my computer stopped me from using the internet, I ran Norton AV and it took 3/4 of an hour to search my HDD of 300,000+ files, it found 27 problems and fixed 1, the rest I had to do manually - and couldnt'! (my internet still didn't work).

So I ran the two FREE software versions above and not having their definitions updated for 45days Ad-Aware SE Personal found 208 problems and fixed almost all of them, any it couldn't it did on the next reboot, the same with Spybot - Search & Destroy, which found several probs relating to the name of the virus, and fixed them.

You tell me why in 29 days I should bother renewing my subscription to Symantec? (its that time of year)
