Zone Alarm or Norton 2003

[Mike Lee]

Hi Group,
I am using Norton Anti Virus Pro 2003 at the moment with pretty good
results, but is Zone ALarm 5.1 with Anti Virus better than Norton Anti
Virus Pro 2003?

I am also using Zone ALarm 4.5 firewall.

With Windows XP Home Edition. SP2


TIA,

Mike...

Both are quite bloated, Mike. ZoneAlarm on its own is a good firewall but
the version with antivirus built in is a nightmare which impacts too much on
system performance.

I've used every version of Norton from 2000 through 2004, and the last few
years I've noticed an increasing drain on resources. Try another antivirus,
I recommend McAfee Enterprise Edition or NOD32.
