Autodesk Land Desktop 2005 Complete package

Advantages: I think to be the best on the market
Disadvantages: none that i have found

...WOW is all I can say, after being advised by an expert about which is the best software to use for antivirus protection I always got directed to Norton. I first used norton antivirus 2004 and this was great, it found all viruses that even I was surprised I had on my PC and offered free updates for a whole year. So come the new year I wanted better and I got it with Norton AntiVirus 2005 11.0 and this is even better. I recently found 527 viruses on my PC thanks to Norton. Features: This package comes with again the free updates until 2006, It will autoprotect your PC, kind of like a 24hour personal guard service, It comes with internet worm protection, Email scanning so now you can feel alot safer if you recieve a virus infected e-mail, The ability to do a full system scan or just scan selected files, Automatically...

Advantages: Total security for your pc
Disadvantages: can slow down your pc booting time a little

...So, why buy 2005 if you have 2004, I honestly couldnt tell you that, because you can just keep your 2004 up to date and stay just as protected. Having said that, I would suggest if you dont have any, then you need to seriously think about getting norton 2005. If you have an old pc then your booting time can be seriously affected by the loading of the antivirus and the personal firewall. What do you get for your hard earned cash? Probably one of the most well known antivirus software out there, which you can automatically update via the internet, which is essential as new virus' are produced on a daily basis.
