Which do you think, or know, is better : Spy Sweeper or Norton?

Spy Sweeper is the best by now. It's a PCWorld award-winning (Editor's Choice) anti-spyware.\nIt can eliminate up to 99% spyware in your PC.\n\nI also have an excellent hands-on experience with Spy Sweeper (already tried many anti-spyware before)

I reckon norton is the best ;)\nAnd about the learning thing -- \nI WOULD turn it off (My opinion) because it's just letting everything go on the internet without your permission! So what if it's asking to much 'Allow' OR 'block' question.\nAnd anyway I've got this game called AXG mu online, it's a private server of real mu online and yes it gives you viruses but who cares norton seems to block it :D.\nand about the worm blocking thing for NIS 06 I think it's happening to everyone including me.

You mean antivirus? okay, try AVG Anti-Virus than, its free and better.  It has been proven in numerous test to out perform norton.

Hi there,\n\nInstead of all these "Mine is better than yours" answers that go on around here, I'll instead answer with the facts.\n\nYes, Norton IS a good PC security program.  It has been known to slow down people's PCs as it can be resource intensive, but if it's having no ill-effect on yours then I wouldn't worry.\n\nAlso, please ignore people who recommend AVG and Avast. Looking at current protection ratings, AVG scores a lowly 90% protection against all known viruses, whilst Avast comes in at 92%. This means they are letting through one in every ten viruses - pretty shocking. Norton on the other hand is protecting against something like 98.3% of all known viruses - a much better score.\n\nIf you would be interested in other Security products that are better than Norton, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

Forget Kapersky - no better that the two you mentioned, and seeing as a couple of new viruses are USING Kapersky to knock of the completion, especially avoid!\n\nWhy AVG - both because it is free and because it is one of the few to be able to run properly on Vista (you may be surprised how many of us are actually using Vista already).\n\nPersonally my first choice has always been Symantec Corporate. Being a corporate version means it is both smaller/lighter by way of the footprint it leaves on your system (not a resource hog at all), but also tends to provide better coverage than basically ALL the AV's marketed for home usage - and yes home users can still purchase it from Symatecs website... cheaper than the Norton products too :)

It's definitely personal preference, but here are some ideas, all of which are free.  Just "google" them.\n\nDon't go with just one.  Anti spy software compliments each other.  Not all programs delete all spys.\n\nFirst get a good firewall:  I recommend Zone Alarm\nSecond, get some anti-spys:  Yahoo Anti Spy, Spybot S & D, Adaware and Ewido are all good.  Get at least 2, 3 will not hurt. (I use all 4)\n\nLastly, get good Anti-Virus:  AVG is excellent and free.\n\nRun these weekly, checking for updates each time you run them.  Should keep your system clean.

you can go to http://download.com and do a search for AVG free\nit is a free virus scanning software...i like it a lot more than Norton because it isn't as annoying.  You might also want to do a search for spybot search & destroy.  It is a program that scans for spyware and other bad things and can remove them.

It is great and it also uses less memory than Norton. I stopped using Norton and Use AVG. It's a good choice. The virus signatures are updated daily so you will be protected well. I've been using the free version for about a year now and am virus free.\n\nUninstall Norton Antivirus and reboot the PC before loading AVG. \n\nI also use Microsofts free spyware preventer. It is in beta. Load this program, too.

AVG works best in tandem with programs like Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware, and one other free antivirus of your choice (like say Mcafee Stinger).\nTrusting your system to only one antivirus or trojan/spyware detector is just suicidal. No ONE program will detect everything.\nPS - Norton is the best....at slowing your system down, hogging system resources...screwing up if you try to uninstall it...taking forever to do full system scans...yup...Norton is the best at SUCKING LARGE.

From my professional experience as a consultant:\n\nNone of the Antivirus programs are perfect.  No one package "gets 'em all".  The real question to be answered here is which one is the friendliest to my computer yet still does an acceptable job of detecting viruses?  If I had to choose between Norton or AVG the answer would be AVG every time.  Norton (and McAfee) are notorious for screwing up computers and making user's lives miserable in other ways.  AVG is fast, clean, and does a good job.  It's also free if you're a home user.

Buy Norton System Works! It will clean up your computer in everyway possible. Used it for years and has never let me down. Well worth the money trust me!!

Neither - for now, I'm using the Beta version of Windows OneCare, which seems to have virus checking that is comparable to both Norton Antivirus 2005 and McAfee.  Only thing missing is e-mail scanning, which may well be added in future releases.
