lol, read the beta news comments. How can people rate Norton????

To any other product it uses every bit of system resource it can get its hands on. It has about 8 to 10 services starting up in 2005 version. Shocking.

and it doesn't find any FBI distributed viruses and spyware

Not to mention Norton is a piece of crap all around. God forbid if you have to reinstall it or if any error comes up during the update process. Mcafee is the way to go now.

Even if they are 2 weeks behind and cannot make a less-buggy client.

Whatever.

Norton AV Corporate and nothing less. Well worth the price I pay each release that comes out.

I use Nod32 and its the best I have tried. Ive used mcafee, norton, bit defender, Pc-cillin, kaspersky, and AVG. Mcafee was not picking up some trojans like it should, norton just sucks all around from resource usage to finding stuff, to uninstall/reinstall problems. Bit defender wasnt bad, but kinda resource heavy as well but it did have a firewall, I did not like pc-cillins firewall at all. I didnt have kaspersky long enough to judge it, and I didnt have any problems w/ AVG+, but I still liked Nod32 better. It takes up less than 20MB of memory and I havent had any problems w/ it at all.

I stopped using Norton when they announced their "activation" program. I hate activations, and since they had major problems in their first year with buyers not being able to activate their programs, it's obvious why

I used McAfee for a while, but didn't like their ActiveX stuff, so I switched to NOD32. So far I've been happy.

and what does? please list?

NAV does detect some spyware/ malware / includeinmg keygens and hack tools
with the default heristics set at "meduim" it misses alot of "would be" threats at
max it catches them. More likely to run into a false positive...

other few i've tried other then finding some known "flase positives" they find the
same stuff.

BTW you know MS is partenerd / under contract with the US goverment and
intelligence If you worried about them spying on you better be useing LINUX
