I am just trying out XP as a change from Linux and need info on the
various Virus offers...Any comments on the pros and cons of Symantec,
Norton, Solomons etc would be most welcome
Regards
Ted
 
Bruce. It is my understanding that Norton A/V will pick up this latest
"virus" as long as you update your definitions. Is this your understanding
also?
Thanks Dan
 
Greetings --

Yes, but that's true of any good anti-virus application. Just
remember that virus definition files always lag a bit behind the
introduction of new viruses; it's not really possible to design
software to detect something that does not yet exist. Symantec does
do a very good job of providing updates quickly whenever a new threat
is identified. One saving grace is that many virus writers lack
imagination and often copy and modify existing viruses, so current
virus definition files still work.
