I just noticed this new Norton 360 program. How does it stack up against Kaspersky? Kaspersky is good but it really slows down my computer when the protection is active! Note that I currently have a trial version loaded and I haven’t uninstalled the Norton 2006 that came with my laptop (although I disable it in the background).
My computer is 6 months old and has an Intel Centrino Duo processor so would have imagined it wouldn’t have such problems running Kaspersky!!
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Well, I wouldn’t spend too much money for an expensive antivirus tool. There are 3 good antivirus softwares for free, but only install ONE on your computer:
AVG Free 7.5 at http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2
Antivir by Avira at http://www.free-av.com
or
AVAST Free at http://www.avast.com
Again, only ONE antivirus software on your computer!!! And UNINSTALL your previous antivirus software before you download and install a new one!
“Norton” was a good antivirus software a few years ago, but today, “Norton” only is crap and a lousy antivirus software, not worth the money at all.

@ PC Helper: These 3 free antivirus are all 100 times better than that lousy, bad and crappy “Norton”!!! Norton is known for being bad and lousy. AVAST, for example, has much more functions to offer and is 100 times safer & better than Norton….But, some people thinks that you only get a good software when you pay for it, but this is not true at all.
Everything the guy above me is correct & right – I totally agree with him. Why does he got a thumbs down? I don’t get it. And if you know it better, so why to heck you asked for our views?
Well as the first guy stated, there are free antivirus programs out there but would you REALLY feel protected using something free as your main defense? If yes, then go ahead and choose one from his list.
Your question: Kaspersky vs Norton 360
Kaspersky hands down. Kaspersky is leaps and bounds ahead of Norton. Look at this chart. Norton is called “Symantec” on it. http://usa.kaspersky-labs.com/products/KAV-Comparison.pdf
Now the choice is ultimately up to you. Good luck!
