Wrong again, "Symantec Antivirus" is the name of the corporate product.

When I used "Symantec," I was refering to the company. And the person I
was replying to, BEFORE LameGirl butted her nose in about Symantec AV,
was talking about one of Symantec's really lame consumer products, NAV.

Symantec, the company, really sucks, big time. It's middle name is
Hoover.

I have to agree with Kenny.. I was an AVG user for a long time before the
latest version came out, then with all the problems they had I looked
elsewhere. I was surprised at how many things Avast! detected that AVG kept
missing or failing to act on..

As an example my daughters PC was running AVG with all latest updates, etc,
but things were running slow. Ad-Aware and Spybot showed nothing so out of
curiosity I loaded Avast and bingo - 3 virus infections that AVG had been
missing for weeks. Needless to say she no longer has AVG on her PC and all
has been fine since then.

I've heard a LOT of others with very similar problems with AVG so draw your
own conclusions...

Quote me, with a FULL quote, not one you chop up out of context, as I
believe I qualified my statement a little more than are suggesting.

And by the way, I've run into this person before, and I suspect
he/she/it has an ulterior motive or two, and that is why I asked
him/her/it to supply me a reason why he/she/it wants to know.

Can we just cut this thread now? We have known enough about
Symantec/Grisoft and Microsoft. Lets get to the main business of
solving peoples problems.

Thanks to everybody for their contribution to this thread and other as

"You said in an earlier thread that if someone other than myself asked
you that you would tell, but, here you are hiding again."

See, I told you that I qualified my statement more than answering anyone
other than you, LameGirl! Asher_N is NOT the OP of this thread, and
with my previous dealings with Asher_N, I don't respect him/her/it.

Next time give a Link too. I don't trust your copying and pasting
abilities.

So have you taken it up with God, about your problems about having a
needle dick?

I doubt it. I'm sure LameGirl isn't about to let go, and doesn't
comprehend that she mischaracterized my statement.

Because you just keep bitching about the Symantec products, and
recommending free alternatives. How about you tell us what you trust your
security to. It's a simple answer really. What's your motive for
recommending products?

I don't understand why you seem to be in support of his approach. This
is meant to be a NG where people can get help, not hollow and
meaningless "advice". What's the f***ing use of bitching about products
other people use if he's too precious to tell us what he does use. Talk
about a primadonna. What a helpful guy; don't use this, that's useless,
you are a tosser if you use xyz; but I'm too high and mighty to give you
any useful advice.

Dah! There must be a alt.primadonnas news group he could move to.

Now stop it you guys. His mommy likes him to be on the computer instead of
bragging/bitching to her about things.

I don't usually recommend specific products.

And your query about what I use has nothing to do with the FACT that
Symantec, and its products are overpriced, bloated, and generally suck,
so you really have no need to know what I use, as it is irrelevant.

If you really want to know search Google. I won't answer Symantec
Schmucks that have no good argument to explain away the downfall of
their beloved company.

Ya'll need to change the subject from Symantec to me, to protect your
primadonna of a company.

And quite frankly, this is a Windows XP group, not a Symantec group, so
if you want to lie about the greatness of Symantec, go elsewhere.

Symantec sucks, and so do its supporters!
