I better prefer other suites,as Mc Afee, AVG,Trend Micro,(or better yet),the use of Microsoft Windows Live One care that clean any kind of virus,spywares,troyan horses,and more,and a good system tune up,taking the computer to a better performance. Norton Internet Security is a bad choice if you care about security Because a bad experience with NIS passing all kind of spywares and/or virus,and requesting me to clean systems at a secure mode, (”computer security” must work the usual way ).

PS: I am not familuar with eset. I wish someone would compare all commerically availible AV softewares, strictly on merit, in one article, reguardless of who advertises where.

PC mag tends to review the vendors that support its publication the most versus some vendors that actually have software that works better...

They always are. Like a political campaign - the more money big businesses put in to the campaign, the better kickbacks they get when their political figure wins. Same with these kinds of reviews - companies pay big money to have the products rated highly. Those who don't know any better will then rely on these reviews to buy the product they need. It's basically advertising money really. I never rely on "paid" reviews - I rely on tech forums and on people who actually use the product to gain my knowledge.

Better choices would be Panda Software or F-Secure, but they are not on the list because they dont advertise enough. Personally I would rather have the virus than use Norton or McAfee.

The resources NIS sucks out of your PC on boot are ridiculous. I myself am a fan of NIS, based on using it 5 years straight. It has a highly advanced firewall and virus definitions IMO. Only issue is that you get so used to resources being sucked bone dry that you tend to deal with it and become complacent. I switched to BitDefender after a few recommendations and haven't looked back. It's very low on the resources, has a much easier interface to navigate and is easy to use for even the non-geeks out there :) Why reviewers always choose NIS & KIS as the top security suite is beyond me.
