AntiVirus / AntiSpam software

(1/5) > >>

graywolf:
Getting tired of fighting Norton Internet Security (NIS) sporadic Symantec Framework errors.

Looking for a replacement software that handles AntiVirus / AntiSpam (works with Outlook 2010). This would be for a Windows XP machine.

Any suggestions.

What would you say would be the pros/cons over NIS in your suggestion?

Have worked with Norton Support but less than pleased. Seems all they want to do is uninstall Norton, reinstall it, and it works for a bit but then the errors come back again.

Yep,  Symantec & friends == warm fuzzies and headaches.

MS security essentials was great for a time, but it's become the assumed target and is frequently defeated. If the system is important I vote ESET NOD32. Their Smart Security is good as suites go but has more quirks than the basic anti-virus.
