[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 887236, member: 28876"] i don't know if you have a history here with this conversation in other threads, but to the casual viewer, like myself, you seem wayyyyy over the top. that happens, i can do it too (it's that Scottish gene i have), but i thought you should know a 3rd party perspective. :) that said, from what i could tell (and my initial reaction was the same as spawns) - was that your criticism with Norton was likewise over the top harsh. no one is saying bitdefender isn't an excellent antivirus (they'd be kinda ignorant to say it wasn't),. it is. but you said norton does more harm to a computer than good. that statement is likely hyperbolic, but rings strongly untrue and invites pushback. both norton and bitdefender do excellent in the tesing labs. both are excellent AVs. in my subjective opinion as a casual viewer of the 5 big labs, bitdefender does better than norton. but norton does friggin excellent in those labs too - frequently in the top position with kasp and bit. and i have been using norton on one computer now for a good 5 years (it comes free with my isp) and i have never had a problem with it. dif avs sometimes have something that sets them apart, i would say bitdefender's sigs set it apart. and to me, nortons insight module is very useful and sets it apart. i had never seen something like it in other AVs (though, i see it now in Kaspersky. i think they copied Norton :) - which is a high compliment from the likes of a powerhouse like Kaspersky, it means you were doing something right). it always reminds me of some friends that argue about which truck is better, ford or dodge or whatever, they wear the hats and will have bar fights over it ... but they're both good trucks, lol. anyway, I'm drifting into rambling now (likely that dang Scottish gene again) so I'll stop :p [/QUOTE]
