Re: Virus Protection

I'm not an expert but here are my ideas on picking software for virus
protection.

Go with the company that gets the earliest and most viruses to build a
fix for.  Someone has to submit the virus for them to build a fix.  I
would go with the guys that have the largest client base.  Sooner they
see one the faster they can fix it and publish the virus definition
for us to use.

Go with someone that makes money at it.  They can afford to hire
people when the market gets really busy.  Like now.

Go with a company that is well rated by independent sources.  What
else can you do?

Go with one that most people don't have problems with.  Qualify the
people that have problems with say Norton or McAfee etc.  Some people
cause their own problems.  I've been guilty.  Recently.

Go with someone that has virus updates everyday.  You have to download
them from Norton but it is pretty easy.  I don't always wait for the
weekly automatic live update.  Don't know about the other companies.

I've run Norton on several computers and the problems I've had were
all traceable back to me.
