You know, my friend was using norton and did a scan a couple days ago, it only found 3 things. Ran AVG on his laptop today because he had been having issues, so far the count is up to 27, along with hundreds of spyware/adware. I heard Norton missed stuff before, but missing 27 trojans?

I also heard Norton missing viruses and trojans. My cousin said he ran NAV on his laptop, and it picked up 9 viruses. He then ran this other kind of antivirus, called NOD32 (he thinks its so awesome) and he said it picked up 25 more viruses.

I had norton and a hacker came in to my computer. That hacker disabled it and put all these viruses on my computer.

I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite, and I like it pretty well. It won't bother you too much.....you only have to deal with the warning one time, and then you just click "remember this setting" when you tell it to allow the access. As far as the general protection notices, I just turn those off to "protect my computer silently". I used to think it was cool to see that it was blocking access to my computer and seeing whether it was high rated or not, but after a while I just didn't care anymore so I turned the notices off.

The Antivirus works well too.

You're gonna have people on both sides of the issue, just like anything else. As for me though, I'd recommend it.
