Hello Andy,
Thank you for your post.
My name is Carsyn, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue.
From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wish to know which
antivirus software is working better with Windows XP, Norton AntiVirus 2005
or PCillin 2002? If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.
Since the Norton AntiVirus and PC cilin both are provided by the third
party software supplier which are independent with Microsoft, we have no
official technical documents on this specific issue. I have enclosed some
related webpages and forum topics for you reference. However, these
information offer a reference to a third party World Wide Web site.

| I have WinXP Pro (SP1) and have the choice of using either Norton
AntiVirus
| 2005 or PCillin 2002 (but will upgrade if i install). My question is,
which
| is the best to install as WinXP will not allow both to be installed.
|
| I did use NAV2005 on another PC and found that most of the time it would
say
| it has found a virus/trojan etc but was unable to remove it and i couldn't
| see what the point was if it couldn't get rid of it !
|
| Anyway, is PCillin better against NAV2005 ??
|
| Cheers
