I have McAfee and when i got a trojan (i think its a trojan it records the keys pressed when at Habbo login screen) it stopped the email straight away so the info couldnt be sent back. Then it automatically singled out the virus and killed it. Then i ran a virus sweep and the whole PC was clean. So since then ive been hugging McAfee every day, as that virus could have lost me all my furni...

THANKS McAfee!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Norton is only good if you know how to use it properly, I played around with it and it works extremely well.

The virus could of been a trojan or a keylogged, cause trojans can keylog i think. As gomme said Norton works extremely well when you know what to do, it always picks up viruses for me :)

True but remember, he may not have an auto updater.

I have McAffe, adwatch adware...
I used to have norton anti-virus, but all that norton does is tells you that you have a virus, and give hints on how to get rid of it, instead of doing a whole defragmentation to my hard drive and deleting the stupid virus!
McAffe is a pain in the bum though, as loads of pop-ups come up when you go onto a website...

I personly think nortons a bit of junk, teh anti virus cost more than the mcaffe securety sute, and then has about a 1/10 of macaffies antivirus functnalty.
Norton also cant deffend agaist spyware, more over it tends to get inefcetd itslef, teh most common is when one edist a registry setting mean norton is unable to update.
I evently got rid of it and swiched to macaffie as my antivirus.
I use a zone alarm fire wall.
And to keep of adware, i use lavasoft adaware backed up by spy bot serach and destroy, wich picks up on the things adaware tend to miss. when nether of them can do the job i usely fall back on the slower yet more thoughra webroot spyware sweeper.
I also browser mainly with firefox, wich stops spyware and adware getting on to teh pc at all, as its got the sences to bloke acative X coponets, tahts u didnt acativate.

Spysweeper is another good keylogger, adware, spyware, cookie remover
