Norton 360 or Internet Security?

[Dreamer]

Hello all.

Wich of those two do you recomend? I know Norton Internet Security has more
options of configuration, Norton 360 does not allow you to modify
anti-virus, for example, you can't verify a single file or a folder. But
the anti virus is there, and it promises to verify everything, a pen drive,
for example.

My question: Is Norton 360 as reliable as Norton Internet Security?

Thanks in advance.

Dreamer.

Neither. Norton and McAfee security products are dreadful. Recommended
antivirus programs are NOD32, Kaspersky, or even Avast if you want a
free one. The XP SP2 built-in firewall is adequate for most people.

Actually, unless Windows Marketplace has seriously cleaned up their act
and are no longer listing known rogue spyware programs and the like,
that would not be good advice for the OP. Even if Marketplace is better
now that only gives the OP more choices. I would not look to that venue
for recommendations. The OP posted to the correct place.

Addendum: I just took a look at the antivirus/security listings at
Windows Marketplace and they are a mix of great and awful programs with
no way for an end user to tell the difference (on the pages were I
looked, all have the same "star" rating). I understand that you need to
tout Microsoft products and services, but I certainly wouldn't recommend
Windows Marketplace as a solution to the OP's question.

I was opting for him/her to take a glance at a site where the top ratings can
be seen for AV is shown. Also site listings for the product both serve
economic and product feature interest for the customers... give them a
choice.

At the Top List sorted by Ratings is Trend Micro and Kaspersky... i dont know
what site you dropped by sir, windowsmarketplace is a neutral site on such
matters my point exactly is for them to have an overview of what is available
- to continue not limit the scope of options.

Milo,

I believe Malke would be referred to as Madam or Ma'am, not
as Sir.

In context of your posted usage, however, the use of any
honorific would seem to be sarcastically derisive - and
unwarrantedly so...

My apologies on such matter if I mistook the gender and if I came blunt ... I
was just trying to make a point.
