    After 2 years today i scanned my computer for viruses,trojans,spyware,adware and found NOTHING!!! I use norton antivirus for viruses and some other popular ones for trojans and spyware i got them from download.com. Im surprised that it didnt find ANYTHING after 2 years. Crazy.

    AVG is way better than norton, and free!! Norton is NOT the industry standard, no matter what they say.

    looks like you do the same things as i do! but then i prefer spybot over the spyware doctor! but then norton keeps giving me a lot of viruses everyday, which deletes most of my important files!:rolleyes:
