I was a fan of avast, but I thought it felt too sluggish. Antivir is way faster.
Don't buy a firewall or antivirus, ever. It's a waste of money. The free alternatives are just as good.
Stay far, far away from Norton.


I'll have to give it a look when I get my Windows PC up and running again. I've never heard of Avira before.

Tests have shown that the free alternatives aren't quite as good as the commercial products, but I say they're good enough. The extra 1% detection rate you get with Symantec isn't worth whatever they charge.

Computers and electronics suck!! See, always backups and make sure they work. No one is perfect. Even MS, Symantec, Google, eBay, etc. have problems. Sh*t happen.

Is there an original source of this? YouTube = blurry. No Symantec products.

I am probably the only person (or one of very few) in the world that likes Vista better than XP.
It takes a couple of months to break it in but after that it's just fine.

But what I really hate is my virus protection.
Just a little hint, never buy Norton Internet Security (or any other Symantec product). It's almost as bad as having a virus.

I just saw this movie on DVD (behind the scene show how the car chase was done) and Ultimatum in theater (prescreen for free with my employer -- did you guys see two Symantec's Norton products? [grin])!

Here's some info from Panda about the exploit:
