I think AVAST HOME is excellent but Dr.Web detects viruses where Avast does not. I dropped AVG free for their problems (constant) with the updates and their worthless forum (compared to the wealth we find at AVAST).

For the same reason, I'm here.

Kind of pointless to ask this question on this forum.

It could have been worse....
Someone could have picked Norton (Symantec)

After reading that I just had to vote for Norton

Sorry, Bob

Norton is a vile piece of crap. I've reformatted and installed Ubuntu since the chap who built my computer installed XP and Norton (against my wishes) but I'm sure there must be pieces of Norton on here still LOL. (We all know hard Norton is to uninstall)

If i understood you correctly , you uninstalled windows and put on Ubuntu just because you had Norton installed

Maybe i should start putting Norton's on my friends pc's maybe then they would see the light of Linux hahaha

The chap who built my computer installed Norton on XP against my wishes. I uninstalled Norton but I was still finding remnants of Norton 6 months later. After deciding to try Linux I reformatted and installed Ubuntu but I'm sure there must be pieces of Norton on here still LOL. Any clearer?

Installing Norton on your friends' computers is a nasty and devious thing to do and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for even thinking that

What will you think of next... drive-by downloads of Norton?
