Norton Antivirus 2006

I use NIS2005 on my Windows 2000 OS, as it works and works well. My brother thought he'd be cool and get the upgraded 2006 version but after seeing what it did to his PC for 5 minutes I knew it was far more bloated and less flexible than the predecessor. I also used Kapersky Beta for my XP64 installation and at first I thought it was OK but frankly, it's a pain in the ass with unpredictable results. Just today the beta trial of that expired so now i'm using Avast, which is free in the Home Edition version and runs just fine on XP64, so i'm hoping it turns out better than Kapersky, without throwing up a pointless message every five minutes, kicking me out of a game.

PC-Cillin is also fine in my experience but that was the 2002 version. If Norton can take such a dive in just one year, so could stuff made by Trend Micro I suppose.

How ya doing, buddy?
