I punt Norton/Symantec off every system I'm responsible for. AVG and Sophos do a much better job.

This just reinforces my experience with and low opinion of their products.

AVG is a good system.

The best prevention of infection is the person sitting at the keyboard.

I generally do not have antivirus software installed on my computer (Windows Server 2003 / Ubuntu) while my wifes (XP Pro) does have AVG installed along with antisypware software. I will periodically and temporarily install AVG and AdAware on my system just to check and have never found anything (apart from the standard cookies and java.byte.verify) while my wife's computer I have to clean every month.

Norton's always seemed to want to take over the entire computer. So stopped using Norton a long time ago. AVG and MicroTrend are good for me but presently using V-Shield
