[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1040310, member: 99014"] Avast and Norton are fundamentally very different products. Avast offers better protection at times, Norton offers additional tools which may be beneficial and may stop certain attacks Avast won’t, specially with the IPS components. Majority of tech in Norton is enterprise-grade and deployed by businesses. The Norton engine is mainly static analysis (more like NGAV) and majority of detections are generated via machine learning, whilst Avast is a bit more old-fashioned and Eset-like. An automated system must obtain the malware, create and distribute signature. End of the day, they both provide protection good enough for home users. Symantec seems to have recently changed their detection policy what gets added to definitions and heuristics. Similarly to Avira, they have recently added detections for phishing in documents and pages. Seems like some changes further to the acquisitions are coming. [/QUOTE]
