From: David H. Lipman on 1 Apr 2010 16:38 From: "Gabriel Knight" <fakeemail(a)hotmail.com> | Hi all | I need to buy some new virus software for my win xp computer, I have done | some research on two typs. One is "Norton internet security 2010" and the | other is "Kaspersky internet security 2010". | With Norton it seems to be excelent with better resources (not using loads | of pc resources) than previous versions, and has a new "Quorum" engine that | in time will tell if it is good or not, I have used Norton 360 ver 2.0 | before and I didnt like the fact that I couldnt delete files in the | "quarinteen" (please excuse my bad spelling) and I need to know if NIS 2010 | has a way to delete the files in the quarinteen. | As for Kaspersky, I like the option in it to run programs in a "sandbox" | mode that if there is a problem in the file it wont let it do any type of | change to the system making it safe. I read the navagation in the GUI can be | a bit frustrating for some executions. | So for the two progies what is the best choice for speed and overall | protection and will this new feature "Quorum" be a way to go? | Thanks all | GK :) Avira AntiVir is the *best*. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Then why did Avast wrongfully declare the VBS:Zulu on Microsoft wen pages ~11/06 and took 2 months to correct the False Positive ? Avast also misses many new forms of malware that AntiVir catches. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
