> McAfee, Norton, or others? Which do you think provides the quickest update
I used Norton for a long time on Windows 2k but when I moved to XP I also upgraded to Norton 2004. It seemed much more complex to me with a bunch more services (maybe my imagination). Regardless, I had constant problems with it and no help from Symantec. Main problem was that after a reboot the AV could not start. Usually a 2nd reboot would fix but sometimes not. Also, my XP machine would sometimes just reboot itself for no apparent reason and I always "felt" it had something to do with Norton. Don't know that - could just be XP. Finally removed it and switched to McAfee on one workstation. So far I think I like it better and no problems on it starting and no reboots. Only thing I do complain about it with McAfee is the download process forces use of Internet Explorer and the scanning configuration program needs more granularity. On my XP notebook I'm using Kaspersky - it's kind of fun actually - screams if it finds something - a little too aggressive on non-virus vulnerabilities but probably something I can adjust out. All seem to me about equally effective over time. Also using Fprot and ClamAV and have extremely good results with both. Really with cost consideration Fprot has to be one of my favorites.
