believe it or not and be displeased as much as you want, norton might just be the best out there when compared on a whole

pc-cillin is good, but it's terrible when comes with compatibility when working with other firewalls other than its own.

mcafee is okay, but it doesn't have updates as fast and as frequent as norton, and hogs more resources. plus it totally failed to prevent that nasty "klitz" worm.

panda antivirus might be the worst. terrible updates, bad realtime scans, and fails to discover several viruses.

f-secure is powerful, but it lacks a solid console window everyone's acustomed to like norton or mcafee.

so coming back, norton takes less resources, faster and more frequent updates, good at realtime scan, and its really great with wild viruses out there, nasty scripts that aren't officially dictated as viruses but could be potentially dangerous.

ofcourse, this is just 1 man's opinion

but cnet.com concurs with me
