GO UBUNTU!
nah anyone with the brains and brawns who knows how to 'handle a computer'can let this go past them.
For all others, I seriously, believe Linux Ubuntu is the way to go.

I cackle when yet another strain of malware for windows is released. Not only am I immune running Puppy Linux, I've disabled autorun for all devices in windows.
Only last week I had to dis-infect a neighbours USB stick - took 5 minutes to clean and another 20 to write up a neat logfile and explanation of what I've done for him.

The windows system is so insecure I could write a batch-file to infect the school-computers. Something as simple as the words shutdown -l in a batch file located in someone's startup folder would play havoc, let alone copying itself to C:/documents and settings/*/Startup every time it is run.

Norton = Slow and incompatible with some applications
Symantex = Detects nearly everything but fails to remove malware
I also hate the fact comodo has a sleek interface rather than just sticking with the windows gui.
Trust me, it doesn't slow your computer down as much as people may say (<2% (normall 1%) of my pentium 4 @ 2.8 ghz clock)

Both Norton/Symantec and Mcafee are garbage IMO.
I like (and use) the free version of AVG.
|
AVG is good yes but symantec has never done me wrong and my pc always ran fine...I wish I can get both to run at same time but they wont let me
