avast! only managed several virus pattern file updates in a day on occasion ;D not to mention avast! doesn't try to take over the world and your system.

If you got several viruses a day then norton wasn't working ;D

Post by: efuniture on July 28, 2005, 09:09:22 AM: >:( I think norton is a pile of crap and I've never had a more unhelpfull paid service. Since getting rid of it and breaking the $140 disc into little peices and downloading avast, I am a very happy camper, I have never had a problem since. I love telling people to forget norton and get Avast. I also enjoy reading the forums even though I can't quite understand it all I am gaining knowledge. ( more inpuuut ;D )

Post by: YLAP on July 28, 2005, 09:24:59 PM: Yep... Sometimes it's more difficult to get rid of Norton than of virus. ;D And moreover, if you are home non commercial user you'll save these $140 ;D ;D so enjoy!

Detected 6
Repaired 0
Fixed 0
Quarantined 0

( This is not all the time but MOST of the time, what's with that? )

Maybe you've add the items to the 'ignore' list... Could it be?

Could you please clarify what you mean? For example, do you mean that Norton seemingly detected viruses better than Avast?

Or do you mean that Norton caused your computer to get more virus infections than since you installed Avast?
