Tyler1989 does have a good point. i have been using norton 2005 pro for the past year and it has blocked alot of threats. i also know about symantec antivirus but i never really considered it since its built for servers/networks and costs about 10 times norton

but has anybody ever tried symantec antivirus ona standalone desktop? whats the performance like? does it keep asking for network resources or can it work by itself?
