My Norton AntiVirus program tells me I now have a
Trojan Horse on my Home computer, (I'm NOT at home right now) However, Norton says it can Not remove the Virus. It's possible that I am not using a Legit version of XP, possible! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) My one-year subscription of the Norton A.V. expires in about 3 weeks. My question for you: should I just re-up with Norton, or switch to someone else, like McAfee? Also, I noticed quite a few Bundles of software for sale over the weekend, like a McAfee 'Personal Fire Wall'. Is that something that would help me, a great deal, in the future? Thanks in advance for your Opinions & Advice! |

In the antivirus tests done by PC World magazine, Norton/Symantec is not highly rated.. mainly because it is good at detecting viruses, but not good at removing them. McAfee is top-rated in their tests because it does both consistently well. The reviews are available online, for everyone to see.
Whatever you do, don't stay with Norton/Symantec.. the only reason it has a good reputation is because of advertising. |
