hey y'all

stuck with Norton crap ??

get PC-cillin internet security 2005
many sites have rated this as the best antivirus and security solution available today

NAV 2005 *reviews.cnet.com/Norton_AntiVirus_2005/4505-3681_7-30998882.html?tag=pop

PC-Cillin 2005
*reviews.cnet.com/Trend_Micro_PC_cillin_Internet_Security_2005/4505-3667_7-31162897.html?tag=pop

also keep in mind to check out the user ratings
NAV 2.7
PC-Cillin 6.4 (hell its hard to convince anyone)

Myself am using PC-Cillin
its very fast and not at all taxing on the CPU

The best one according to me is MKS_VIR 2005. Extremely powerful heuristic scanning. I'm using it right now. Switched from Norton some weeks back and MKS was successful in detecting 3 viruses that Norton couldn't detect.

F-Secure and Avast are good as well but Norton is the worst.

Reporting to the mods.....
