1) Symantec Antivirus 10 Corporate
2) Symantec Norton Antivirus 2007
3) Norton Internet Security 2007
4) Norton Personal Firewall 2007
5) Norton Confidential
6) Norton System Works
7) Norton Partition Magic
8) Norton GoBack

imho to make your PC Virus/trojan Proof, just get these two=>

==>Kaspersky Internet Security 6
==>ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall

i've been using this combo for around 5 months. till date No virus/trojan could enter my PC.
Kaspersky blocks/treats the virus'es & ZoneAlarm gives control over the processes/apps. for web access & blocks the crap websites.

main part -> KIS6 & ZA Pro consume a total of 40-60MB only.

SAME COMBO HERE TOO .. ...

perfect combo....norton wil just eact up ur system resources...speaking form personal experience....

[s18000rpm]

yes Nortan AV alone will take 40+ MB of RAM.

[satyamy]

I m using Symantec Antivirus its using just 20MB RAM n running fine in my PIV & PIII also

actually the reason for symantec is
whr my frnd is working they have given him discount coupons for buying product frm symantec
so he wants to buy symantec product from that list i have given
Pls tell the best one from the list

[s18000rpm]

#7 & #10 are really good ones. (not for virus protection)

I second that..

Been using that since 3 years now !

[s18000rpm]

@satyamy, if your friend buys the NIS, then have a look here ->Free Download: Norton Internet Security Add-on Pack to download it.

[alsiladka]

Would not risk and ruin my system by installing norton on it even if provided for free!!!

[Kiran.dks]

If he really needs only Norton, I recommend:
Norton Internet Security 2007 in PC security segment, BUT otherwise, Kaspersky Internet Security is better choice.

[rahul_becks23]

if u r goin legit , then i recommend Trend Micro Suite .

[kalpik]

People have misconception.. Norton and Symantec Corporate are two different products! Norton is crap.. But Symantec is definately an A+ grade product

[anandk]

of the ones mentioned by u ; norton security suite.
else kis or zass.
u dont need to use kis + za/fw.

[rahul_becks23]

kis or zass ..............
kis + za/fw..............???

[Tech Geek]

if you want to know only from the list
go for the 2,3 ones

[rahul_becks23]

!!!???<.,.???

firewall is useless
use normal firewall's
we hate because
it slows the pc down
eats up all the resources

[s18000rpm]

Add this too
=>& it does'nt do its work properly (virus detection...), its basically a KaamChor

[satyamy]

u guys have created a tension for me
why do u hate norton so much
frm last 3 months i was using Symantec Antivirus
Now forget abt my frnd
n tell me wht should i do, is my PC really not secure from virus.........?
do symantec really useless...................?
if yes
suggest me a good antivirus or internet security suite
pls dont tell me to use firewall
i face many problems using firewall
pls tell me what to do.......................

[Tech Geek]

norton is good
there are many other antivirus lite on resources and better antivirus protection than norton
i prefer kaspersky
everyone has there own opinion

[ashisharya]

go for nod32

[satyamy]

ya i tried kaspersky its good n it has good features
NOD32 doesnt give update

[NIGHTMARE]

ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall

[satyamy]

do i need to use firewall extra
if i use kaspersky

ur wish
i use kerio personal firewall

[s18000rpm]

if yoou go for KAV (only Anti virus), then you need a firewall, like ZA.

but if you go for KIS (security suite), then you dont need to install firewall, as KIS has it.

but still i was happy with ZA Pro, that i installed it along with KIS.

KIS gives you the option to install/not Firewall, Antispyware... (so i did not install KIS f/w)

[satyamy]

ya it i used it it has great interface
nice n lite to use
