Pros: Completely customizable, excellent E-mail checking features, simple updates, and it works.
Cons: Having to pay for update subscription may put off some.
Summary: Back in the early and mid-1980s, computer viruses (or, as some prefer, virii) were pranks. The pranks were often annoying, but pranks they were. You would be typing merrily along, or logging on to one of the online services and out of nowhere something ... read more

Pros: Mainstream package -- good virus protection
Cons: Huge, slow, interferes with other programs, requires reboots FAR too often
Summary: We've used Norton A/V products for years, and I've been dismayed to see Norton Anti-Virus gradually become "bloatware". It's huge now, with a very slow install. It seems to slow our machines down dramatically -- especially when it's intercepting incoming ... read more
