Make your mind up. Are you talking about Sophos vs. Norton,
Sophos vs. AVG, Norton vs. AVG ... or what?
Anyway, there's no contest. Sophos is the better (of the *three*).
Norton is bloatware, and will bog your system down.
AVG is only average, at best - although it *is* free.

Ohhh, I didn't know AVG is also another anti virus, I was told it stands for
anti virus guard.
Okay, its Sophos Vs Norton.
Does Sophos have similar features like Norton i.e. live updates.
TIA.

Which mentioned AVG? You're mentioning NAV and Sophos.
Sophos is much better, in my opinion, than Norton.
As far as updates go, Sophos updates their virus sigs a couple (sometimes
more) times each day.
