Advantages: Has a screenaver that scans when activated. Disadvantages: No built in Firewall.
GB Disk Free space, Winxp home OS System. Even when Norton is running only in background, the system was extremely slow something that never happened with Avast antivirus.
And Avast could detect many trojans and spyware that Norton failed to detect due to its heruistic system. (And Norton also detected a few trojans which Avast failed to detect. But when I scanned these same files using eTrust Antivirus which is there in my company, it failed to detect these as viruses). Also whenever Norton detected any virus it would show the same message in a circle. That virus message 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, ....then 10, then some gap, then again to 1 and so on. This continued until I got fed up of that antivirus and uninstalled it the same day. I reinstalled Avast again and I still continue to use. I feel between Norton and Avast, Avast is ...
Advantages: Simple and easy to use Disadvantages: No technical support

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Too slow, too much memory useage - beware!
I bought this antivirus software for my daughter from a computer store just earlier this year. I install the software and have had huge problems in memory on my daugters computer so much so that I have removed this software from her system and replaced this with an internet software that costs me nothing and does not use up too much memory and also does not slow my daughters computer down to nearly a stand still. Would not recommend this software unless you have a super, super computer at home as this is the only way you will be able to actually work on the computer.
