In the old days, I liked Norton. I knew Peter Norton back in the 80s. I trulyliked his programmes. The initial
Symantec Norton Series were pretty neat as well. However, over the years, I had more and more trouble with the
complete suites. Under XP and Vista, the errors went from bad to nightmarish. In the end, the Symantec software
prevented some of my graphic cards from working (I have an extensive network). Integration of the various suites,
although technically possible, proved virtually impossible in practice. The last suites I bought was the 2006
series. Then I tried NOD, Panda, Kaspersky, McAfee and several free programmes. Finally, someone within the US
Department of Defense suggested Avast Antivirus. This was the best I ever had and nowadays I swear by it. I
upgraded from Antivirus to Internet Security and haven't regretted it a bit. Haven't had a single infection since I
use Avast (Under Norton, you had to download specific cleaning programmes apart from the Antivirus software itself)
and my network is online 24/24 7/7 since years now. While Symantec's service and support declined as the years went
by, Avast Service and support improved (not that it was bad at first, it just got better).
