....i guess you should switch to another anti virus too...possibly something that treats viruses rather than become a pain in the ass itself.

 

[Sushubh]

reports claim symantec and other popular antivirus applications fail to treat 80% of the viruses in the wild.

avg network edition works best for me as it is light also so that no time in startup.

Linux works best!! LOL ...seriously ....since I shifted to Linux, I can use more of my cpu cycles for my apps rather than antivirus(Norton used to eat up a lot). On the other hand , I still have retained WinXP for certain windows only apps....and till now I dint have huge virus problems since I am using AVG Free Edition. Also I have Sygate firewall , the windows firewall is not as reliable.But wht I have noticed so far is, if you use your computer with a little more care, no viruses come. For example shifting to Firefox/Opera solves half your problems. Also keep a limited user account and use it for potentially infectious activities( I mean pron )Using this strategy , a friend of mine actually manages with no antivirus (he cant use coz he has P3 866Mhz and cant spare cpu power for anitvirus! ) ..he has had no trouble for the past 2 years

lolz i know 2 ppl who are doin the same since quite some time now and they r both on this forum. btw i'm using Bitdefender and its working fine for me Norton is good but it uses up a hella lot of resourcesMcafee's shit !!!! My comp got all messed up when i had mcafee's internet security suite.AVG i don like coz i don trust stuff thats free Kaspersky,...ya its ok not too good though.Zonealarm.......its firewall is only good rest everything is BAKWAAS !!!!rest of the AV's i can't recall at the moment

I like avast better. Works great for me and becomes quite powerful and armoured when paired with Trojan Hunter and sygate firewall.
