Kaspersky Antivirus Vs Symantec Antivirus

Symantec sucks big time. Slows down you pc and when you un install it, it wont uninstall.

Kaspersky is better, though it can be a pain sometimes.

 

What about the new norton 2009, is it any good?

 

All the norton products are resource hungry and slow down your system considerably. Go for some other alternative that is equally effective but at the same time doesn't slow down your machine.

 

I use Kaspersky Antivirus.

I am good with it , it is doing the job the way it should .

 

I am using Kaspersky registered version. Both server & personal pc version. I am regularly update my antivirus. But,I am not so happy of Kaspersky service. Next year I will take another anti virus.

my vote goes for Kaspersky.

 

My vote for kaspersky. I am seller of it. Anyone want kaspersky at very low rates as low as $5 + free software's please P.M me. 100% original.

 

Has anyone here slagging Norton even tried 2009? I doubt it, believe me the last time i used it was 2003 when it started to go downhill and i rubbished it ever since but 2009 is way different and has been rewritten from the ground up.

Better than Kaspersky.

PcAdvisor:

Nothing of the sort, regular Norton updates occur every 8 hours and are lucky to be a meg. They also have a "Pulse Update" feature you can turn on instead, definitions are pushed out instantly meaning you get updates a few hundred kb every 5-10 minutes if there is updates and you do not notice it. You can also have them done after 10 minutes PC idle time so there's zero impact.

Also Norton has a feature called "Insights", once it scans a file if it hasn't been modified it won't scan it again which makes perfect sense. So due to that, full system scans can take as little as 5 minutes.. Yes a FULL system scan.

I never thought i would say this, but YES Norton 2009 is better than Kaspersky. Don't listen to people who have no idea and base their comments off versions from years ago, download it and try it they have a 14 day trial and it takes 4 minutes to install from double clicking the exe, time it no reboot needed.

 

Best one for me is Kaspersky. Never had any problems for years.

 

Mine If I'll be given a chance, I will still use Kaspersky. I've tried it and really impressed with its features however I can't get it for free (legally) so I prefer using AVAST since it has a free edition that I could use at my home PC.

 

Symantec is a complete joke, I also had a problem with it when I used to use it where half of its stopped working and their support was absolutly uses less just telling me to redone the things I had already done and once the basics were covered they pulled out of the conversation with me and ignored me.

Kaspersky easy wins here, the software is not even comparable they are so much better than that crappy Norton **** lol.

 

i vote for Kaspersky coz very sensitive

 

Kaspersky is a lot better for performance and value than Norton.ANd you are correct in the sluggish behavior of Norton which is over priced

So many people without a clue, Norton 2009 is faster than Kaspersky in basically every aspect from boot time, to browsing to full system scans.

 

AVG Antivirus for sure and most of the people are using it. Here is a License key to activate AVG Antivirus FREE for 10 years (till 2018)

 

all of you use Kaspersky.but i have no reg key.i used before.but now don't.i use avast.is it is bad.I have no kespersky key.

 

Hi,

I did a comparison of the two for my security site. Norton used to be a resource hog but, lo and behold, Norton IS 2009 is now the leanest of all the suites. Norton has finally come to the party in a big way in protection as well as resource usage. Their pricing is attractive too.

Re Kaspersky, they have not kept up with the front-runners.

See sweetfunny's references.

Kaspersky- Less bloat. Norton is terribly slow.

 

Wow, a real person and not some robot scraping outdated replies from a Yahoo Answers archive lol.

Seriously though, good to see someone else has actually put both products to the test and come up with a real opinion.. rep given.

Norton 2009 is the fastest from any suit i have tested also including Kaspersky, which i never thought i'd say since i stopped using Norton in about 2003.

Norton also seems to have a much better detection rate, for instance it found iFrame exploits in old .rar achrives of websites that Kaspersky completely missed.
