Is virus protection more of a pest than a protector?

October 20, 2009

I have Norton Anti-virus and I update it regularly. However whenever I perform a full system scan, it never finds anything other than a cookie or two, so I don’t see the point. I regularly delete all my browsers’ caches, files, cookies, etc, so I don’t see the need for the virus protection other than needing something to automatically start and slow my computer down when I don’t want it to.

Question I guess is, do I actually need the virus protection?

Virus Protection?

October 12, 2009

We are a small firm, 10 seats, and currently use Norton Anti-Virus and are sick of it. Problems with existing applications and an administrative nightmare. What are the other options? What do other people use for virus protection? I looked at mcafee and it was even worse. What do the big boys use for virus protection? Thanks.
