Need some help with an anti-virus

[SnWnMe]

I run both Avast and Malwarebytes. I like em because the processor load seems to be light.

Avoid anything with the term "Norton" is it. However, Symantec Endpoint is decent. I also like AVG for free, and TrendMicro. Never cared much for McAfee, but I think they are better now than they used to be.

Why does everyone hate Norton? Let me in the loop.

If installed on your pc, the overhead is quite high, especially during scans. But mainly, in my experience, although it is decent protection from true viruses, it is not very good about protecting from, or removing, more common "spyware/malware". It is the worse I've seen in that regard. It is also among the priciest.

Its always prompting you for something, Scan this, scan that, back this up, read this, click here to check for updates, the list goes on.

With my ESET, the icon stays in the bar, and only tells you when it blocks something or when it was unable to update on its own.

I wonder how many people who freely post which security products they use would also detail how their home alarm works?

Probably not very many, seeing as how they are two different things.
