I think dismissing the "rather bloated" Norton and McAfee is somewhat of a step in the wrong direction, never let an overbloated program be the mask for one not doing the job right. Norton and McAfee have strong background ties (Mcafee being owned in part by Microsoft and Norton, well the story is alot of the same) are very large companies and offer excellent facilities for protection in their own methodology. Norton had the first beta definitions out for Sasser. I am not going against my own thoughts and asking you to dismiss others based on my words, just asking you to keep an open mind. All AntiVirus products will do the same, but its sometimes the bloated-ness that can off the all round protection. I have to admire TrendMicro for their Housecall Online program, excellent and quick program and KasperSky has already "done exactly what it says on the tin" I personally use Norton, as it fits well on my desktops and laptops , integrates well with my desktop firewall on the laptop and the integrated Parental Control on its Firewall offers good work for little price for the kids. Just trying to give different perspectives that all, its not about who's best, but how it fits into your little scheme of life.

Hey all Having been on this list i have picked up a lot of knowledge and gotten clarity on a lot of issues as a fledgling network admin Now my question is outside the rather bloated Norton AV for consumers and mcafee which av product * strictly for home use* is recommended. From my research ive narrowed it down to the products from the following vendors 1) Eset Nod32 2 ) Trendmicro Regards Jay _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
