May I point you to my article that I have done testing antivirus products and the results are scary that Norton Antivirus is the worst antivirus product out there

Please tell me you did more than scan for Hotbar as a test?

You aren't idiots, are you? I really think a little better of you guys than that. Join the darkside, ditch the AV.

I agree with this man.

I have tried virtually all of them like panda,Kaspersky,Avast,AVG,Bitdefender etc...all have their good and bad points, but what I use now is AV built-in with VCOM SystemSuite 6 which is made by Trend Micro.

It does a good enough job for me since it has real time scanner that is easy to disable.
I also use spybot,Spywareblaster,Ad-Adware and anti-spyware built in SystemSuite 6 as well.


Online scanners like Panda/Kaspersky are nice backup if you want to check things with a different AV program.
