Re: Best Antivirus Program Other Than Norton?

said by Don Pelotas See Profile :

Kaspersky cost the same as Norton in the US:»www.kaspersky.com/store?ipcountry=US, the renewal price is a 30% discount, this includes both signatures & productupgrades
Renewal for NAV costs 29,99 an upgrade to or a new license for NAV 2006 39,99 (supposed to include signature and product updates too).

So given the prices of the products most user here would call "competitor", I don't see what the problem with the prices Symantec charges is...

Well, one glaring difference is that Symantec has no support basically. KAV has excellent support both from ICE Systems for USA customers and from KAV itself ...phone and email and no charge like the outrageous charge Symantec has for phone support and Symantec's email support is so poor that there is really no support. (However, Symantec does have an excellent knowledge base on their redesigned web site and for the first time it is easy to use. So, if you like self help then finally now Symantec's self help is excellent which was never the case until this overhaul of the knowledge base). Not to mention Symantec's DRM. Kaspersky, NOD32 and Bit Defender, all outstanding and none of them have DRM.

In my option the last AV program I would buy is NAV. Bloated (resource HOG), slow and when the subscription is about to run out, 1 month before it really runs out, it pops up the Renew Now box ALL THE F-ING TIME. That box alone made me switch to AVG.

I tried AVG for a while (and liked it) but kept getting "offline" messages - my system would think it was no longer connected to the router and I'd have to click the "try again" button...
