316960	2005-01-22 20:54:00	what?? spybot is free mate, and its the best anti spyware program around, its HIGHLY recommended around here	Prescott (11)

Then you are not qualified to say what you did above You are comparing one version of NAV against another and assuming they are the same. People should go with what they are comfortable with. They guy asked a question on which other thought were better. NAV2005 or AVG. It was not NAV2003 or AVG. And to answer the question myself. NAV2005 has never played up with me, I have never had a virus that it didn't pick up as soon as it hit my system and if he went for the IS as well it is even better as you get a firewall.

316962	2005-01-22 21:06:00	lol I aint heard of much spyware that spybot dont pick up but just to be on the safe side i also occasionally run ad-aware and where you got the idea you gotta pay for spybot i cant imagine....oh by the way for anyone who's interested spybot has a lovely beta version out 1.4 which has a registry minder built into it so if any app tries to lodge itself into the startup keys then it jumps up and tells you giving you the option of letting it happen or not........I think this is excellent..... www.softpedia.com when you set it up theres an option you should tick that allows this .........	drcspy (146)
316963	2005-01-22 22:05:00	I'm also an AVG fan, it uses less system resources & tends to have less bugs & causes less problems than Nortons Use in conjunction with spybot, ad-aware & PF1, I've never had any problems keeping my systems clean. Even though all these products are free we do recommend users "donate" to the authors so they can keep providing the apps for free. Even a small amount ($5US) will enable the authors to keep future development & updates going.	bartsdadhomer (80)

It was not NAV2003 or AVG. its was an example, actually i am qualified as i do have NAV2005 but i havent tried it out due to my past experience, but you do have a point, ill take that back :o	Prescott (11)
316965	2005-01-23 00:59:00	To Norton Antivirus I have used Norton for a number of years and found no problems with viruses at all. Though it is slow on doing system checks, uses quite a large amount of resources and I remember NAV 2003 to be very slow when starting up WinXP. All in all I musst say it does the job and never had a virus problem!! Regards to you all :) Gion	notechyet (4479)
