Funny how Norton ain't there. Only one of the most used Anti-virus products out there...

:D where have you been so long ? Symantec withdraw their participate almost 3 years if remember correctly since they disagree with File Detection Test which they were POOR.

Go to Wilders or AV-C homepage/forum, you will find answer

Have been with Avast,free edition,for years and have had no problems.

Did try Norton,Kaspersky and one or two other but stuck with Avast.

No offense to Norton fans, but the AV is so f*cking slow that it will probably take 100 years to finish auto-scanning a flash drive.

What I really wonder is whether the PCs in which these tests are/were carried out are already infected with the malware or if they give a chance to the antivirus to get installed in a clean PC before infecting them. The results could differ altogether for instance in the "File detection test" -_-

Really then either you tried it on a crap machine or one that was full of crap, My machine if I just limit to the C Drive can be scanned in less than four minutes and that's a 128 SSD

No offense to Norton fans,

Seems to be the one selling anything right now much is Symantec it took NOD32 place in the market share .. but I thought Symantec was slow when I tired it back a lot years ago still that slow? Most every one uses Free Antivirus. Most people who come on here they only use what they use because of cracks . leaked serials or giveaways If they didn't have these alternatives to activate they would be using free too. . :P

Well, at least now we know who's a Norton fan here :rolleyes:

Anyway, like I mentioned earlier (in case you failed to notice), it was an auto-scan and not a manual scan.

All the same, I didn't know a computer with i5 processor and only has Office installed is crap :troll:

well Norton auto scans are done in the background without me even noticing till a notification comes up that its finished. well either you haven't tried the latest few editions i.e. say 2012 onwards or the "i5" doesn't have enough ram

this handles it fine

There are good things in each AV, which can't be finded to other AVs and vice-versa. None of them is perfect. None of them can stoping you to click what you should not click.

Most people who come on here they only use what they use because of cracks, leaked serials, or giveaways”. This is it!

Steven, I couldn't say better, even if I would.
