there is many pepole saying which antivirus is the best to use in there computers and this question i dont know which is better in protection and in scan speed and in finding the virus and dealling with it correctly.wich antivirus is better and by??????
I use Norton Antivirus and i haven't had any problems.
I've only once had a virus with Norton i couldn't remove with it and i had to get a different tool for it.
But i've used AntiVir too. It's good and FREE!

many say like you but norton have 2 problems -it is too slow when scanning for example if it scanned my 160GB it will take about 3hours and half -if you are updatting live and u cancelled by mistake norton will have many errors and u will reinstalle
Well if it takes that long to scan your 160gb of hd space it's not because of Norton.
I have 3 hd's: 1x 20gb, 1x 80gb and 1x 160gb and it takes about 30-45 minutes to scan them.
So either your pc is crappy or you have a computer full of spyware and stuff that makes it run slow.
oooo 30- 45 minutes to scan all you are good but i make my norton scan every thing even the files that are exctuded and inside of all the zip files and setup files.but i am now useing bitdefender which scan fast and am also not 100% think that it remove all viruses.
@Pabl0z :which norton do you use??
I had Norton antivirus and Firewall some years back...i only had problems with it! When i changed it, everything got easier...Norton is also partly owned by Windows, maybe a part of the problem?
that is why ,i was talking about norton antivirus 2005 pro ofcorse norton 2004 and 2003 is better.but how did u cracked with a 100 year long license????
ooo the same version for almost 4 years ith out errors. i think that the old version of the norton is better the early ones.
any one know any thing about panda and bitdefender antivirus ???

no, not the same version. I've updated it every year
I use a collection of software to keep my pc safe, norton antivirus 2004, Microsft Spyware Beta, Registry Mechanic, Spyware Doctor and Ad-ware. Sure it takes a bit longer for my pc to startup, but its worth it imo.

but almost all this software block each other and beside if u scan a large harddisk how long will it take you yo scan ith all this software???
Not long actually, the one that takes the most time is Norton and thats when i'm doing a full scan. The rest are only few mins each. As for blocking each other, I've never had that issue, heck its done the opposite for me...something that MS Spyware Beta cant pick up Spyware Doctor does and vice versa. It's really handy.
there is something that some of the users of norton does not know ,in the option of the norton it exclude 3 types of files one of them is System Volume Information which some times haves few viruses so unexclude them then scan.
Norton AntVvirus 2004 Professional (best Norton ever, end of story... personalised crack)
Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta (probably the best AntiSpyware program I know.... I used to rely on Spybot Search and Destroy)
Spyware Blaster (a program that blocks spyware from getting onto your computer)
Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE Professional (by far the best adware/malware/everything else... detector)
How I have norton set-up is so that it runs deep scans on everything on my 160gig hard drive....
The set-up I have has never had a virus or anything else in it, I do enough crap on the internet that it should be riddled in viruses
All up with all three tests running at once, it takes a minimal 50 minutes
the same version for almost 4 years ith out errors. i think that the old version of the norton is better the early ones.
