I don't agree at all. If that were literally true, than Norton
anti-virus, which you have to pay for, would be better than Avast and
Avira, both of which are free.

But Norton, in my view, is the worst of the anti-virus programs, and
Avast and Avira and among the best one ones available.

What do you know about Norton 2009? I feel the same way about Norton AV,
you couldn't pay me to use it. However, Norton 2009 is re-written from the
bottom up. I tried it on one PC and found that there was no performance hit
and the scans are very fast. Even the install routine is fast, Symantec
wrote their own. I'm pleaseantly surprised by how good it works and how
non-obtrusive it is.
