AVG Anti Virus Review

I am often asked which Anti Virus program I like to use. Five years ago I was a huge Symantec fan. Most AV products worked well but I always felt they were too bloated and resource intensive. Enter AVG 7.0 Pro from Grisoft. About a year ago I was looking for a replacement to my expired copy of Symantec (Norton) and I happened across AVG. So why switch? Speed, effectiveness and cost were motivating factors. However, the small form factored AVG comes with many additional features.

Norton AntiVirus 2008 Review

Having improved a lot last year in Symantec's flagship antivirus product, it makes sense we'd see more modest enhancements for this year's Norton AntiVirus 2008. While Norton AntiVirus 2008's antivirus test results compare favorably to our Editors' Choice winner Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7, it's the user experience that suffers in this release. The final size, a hefty 300MB, makes us wonder what's taking up all that extra space--Norton AntiVirus 2008 is roughly six times the file size as Kaspersky. Unlike Kaspersky, Norton AntiVirus 2008 is only available in a single-user license edition. Unlike Kaspersky, Symantec provides Norton users with little explanation of its features or settings, either in the configuration settings or on its technical support section. Also we don't like Norton's dependency on Internet Explorer to explain Help items or services provided by Symantec (windows pop up in IE even when Firefox is your default browser), or that fee-based services have once again crept into the technical support section. All of these things distract the user and weigh the product down in our minds. Your computer is safe with Norton AntiVirus, it's just, do you really need all that extra stuff installed as well? For a look inside Norton, see our Norton AntiVirus 2008 slide show.
