@Paul101

Thanks, I'll look into that.

@QVGA

I had a look at Symantec but I would still prefer Kaspersky between the two.
Anything different or better about Symantec in relation to Kaspersky?
Thanks.

IMO KIS is the best, a good Firewall and a good Antivirus in one product.

Because they don't make cheap machines... people who can afford to go Mac, do so. Unless they're hardcore Windoze fans...

There are more PCs over 2000$ than there are MACS. I dont have the figures to support that, but i know that its a fact.

Well, its still open for debate on which is the better Os of the two. One of the reasons Windows is so popular is because people had "choice". Its simple: To use Mac, you ought to purchase a Mac! At the same time, with windows, you can assembla 100 dollar system and still install Windows. MAC buffs will say "Hey, we can still dual boot with XP on a Mac!" but hell, you still need to purchase a Mac! Its like purchasing a million dollar home just to enjoy the 10000 dollar swimming pool! If you give the consumers a choice, even an inferior product will do better. That by no means imply that Windows is inferior. Vista is a quite capable OS IMHO!

You could give it a try for a month, NOD32. It is an 100% protection.


As far as it goes for KAV and SYM, they are both good but system hoggers. With NOD you get 1st line defense for less money and without slowing down the system.


Look here for some better arguments:

Open Office is fine as apps go, but the compatibility between Open Office and MS Office is over rated. If you need to regularly view word documents as they were meant to be viewed, Open Office doesn't cut it.

In business I come up against this a lot. Home users who have convinced their boss of the advantages of open source, have put Open Office on all the computers in the office, then for the next 6 months users complain bitterly about not being able to view MS Office documents properly. One by one the machines get converted back to MS Office, as users demand something that allows them to exchange documents with customers and business associates from other businesses who use MS Office.

In one case I inherited a customer whose previous tech had installed the whole office with new machines pre-installed with Open Office. In the end the customer had to replace all the Open Office with MS Office. They had to pay full retail cost of MS Office, since they had missed the opportunity to pay OEM pricing when they bought the machines with Open Office instead of MS Office. It ended up costing them about $4000 more than it would have had they purchased the machines with MS Office pre-installed.

I know that it sucks that MS Office has become a proxy Office Suite standard, but in lieu of any real Office Document industry standards, business has to rely on the most used Office suite, which happens to be MS Office.
