Norton is a Symantec product.....

Norton IS and Symantec IS are the same thing
However there are additional Symantec business products which often are more effective than the Norton branded ones...

I've said it before many times. Avast is one of the most consisitent high scorers in the AV test stakes. If you also turn on the "PUP" screening and automate the action it takes upon finding a problem, then not a lot gets past it.
I tried lots of programmes over the years, and Avast is the only one where I've never had a customer come back to me afterwards with a reinfection

PS - the Microsoft AV products are a total waste of time. I've seen them penetrated loads of times. The only case where the product may be useful is if you have an old granny who goes on the internet once a month to do her shopping from Tesco, and her computer doesn't have the guts to run anything more advanced
