Q: I always use Norton Antivirus and never had any problem with it. However, with the 2005 version, I can not d / l the definition files separately, but have Nortons Auto Update. Is there other software, free or paid, that leaves me d / l separately definition files?
Re:Panda is one of the best I've used.

Re:I am a great fan of Kaspersky for first aid virus despatcher.
Unfortunately – on my own systems that I have attempted to keep it on, it tends to eat RAM (upto 80MB).
NOD32 seems brilliant at the moment, as does Antivir which I am using at the moment. (using them on different computers, obviously)
Re:yeah i forgot to add that norton added so many crap processes to my laptop. i'll give kapersky a tried. thx
Re:Stay away from the bloatware that are Norton and McAffy, and get some antiviruses that actually work without hogging your system down:
Kapersky (http://www.kapersky.com)
Avir (http://www.free-av.com) In my opinion, the best AV out there. We had some problems with trojans at work; all of the PCs had Norton's Bloatware running in full protection mode, which didn't help against the trojans at all. Norton's scan failed to find anything, whereas AVir's scan found all the trojans in one pass.
AVG Antivirus (http://www.grisoft.com) Another nice one, free and non bloated antivirus.

This should help you out.
Re:Kaspersky is the best IMO.

Re:McAfee is just as bloated as Norton. I'd stay far away from both. You may want to sign up for Microsoft's OneCare beta. It's in its open beta stages right now. It's decent. Comes with a firewall, anti-virus, and a backup program.
Re:is mcafee still good?

Kaspersky Anti-virus Personnel should be good for you.
