Guest Dreamer Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 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. Quote

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.

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.

Guest Milo (MSPSS) Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 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. -- Milo MSPSS "Malke" wrote: > Milo (MSPSS) wrote: > > additional > > > > visit this site > > http://www.windowsmarketplace.com > > in search type Anti-virus it would give you option to choose among the list > > and look out for the best rating other users provided > > 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.

Guest Milo (MSPSS) Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 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 MSPSS "Malke" wrote: > Milo (MSPSS) wrote: > > additional > > > > visit this site > > http://www.windowsmarketplace.com > > in search type Anti-virus it would give you option to choose among the list > > and look out for the best rating other users provided > > 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.
