Hi,

Always use a product that is OPSEC complaint. Because some softwares are not designed, even if they say its for the Windows.

Check www.opsec.com

Then decide the AV, as you please. McAffee dat files are not very best in quality. So on my opinion I'll choose Norton or Trend Micro.

When you install Norton your machine will get slow. But not Trend Micro products.

Trend Micro issues pattern files on reguler basis and if your AV is up-to-date, you are well protected from viruses. On the Other hand Norton takes time to release pattern files and less effective in cleaning the viruses. (ex: nimda, sircam, klez etc

But Norton cleans the old virusese very easily than the Trend Micro.


Choose for your requirment. I personnaly a tester and knows what are the plus and minus points in both Noorton and Trend Micro.
I recommand Trend Micro for Internet gateways and mail scanning. Its the best.
