i need to buy a new antivirus software
i used norton before
but is there other alternatives?

135459 2003-04-13 10:41:00 Paying, Nortons, because they update faster.

Free, AVG because it's gratis, but you get what you pay for and personally I wouldn't use it for commercial protection.

Your mileage may vary.

135461 2003-04-13 10:50:00 There are indeed plenty of alternatives,
McAfee
PC Cillin
Panda and so on,which is the best?take your pick,seems from my enquires all a matter of opinion.

135462 2003-04-13 11:09:00 NOD 32 from Eset Software
they update faster than nortons, use less cpu you can run the latest program on a p120 and not notice you are running an antivirus program.
For Nortons you pay for updates and you get the virus definitions
For Nod you pay for updates and you get program updates as well as virus definitions.
nortons 2002 $120+GST nortons 2003 $120+GST Nortons 2004 $120+GST, Total $360+GST... Nod 3 years one user $160+GST

I have found Nortons to be an absolute slug compared with the free AVG.
