Yes, NOD32 is definitely better than Norton. I run NOD32 myself. The best internet suite is Kaspersky. Kasperky's anti-virus software is superb. To really be secure I suggest reading the various stickys provided here to help you.

Besides NOD32 a router is absolutely essential along with anti-malware/spyware programs like Ad-Aware and Spybot which are free or Webroot's Spysweeper (which I also run but costs; still I love their shields) and a Firewall like the free Comodo or Sunbelt Kerio.

Even with all of this protection you can still get infected if you visit unsavory sites.

Hi,

The main issue with norton is that it is quite resource intensive for many systems. Detection wise I would say it is still quite decent, and is quite user friendly. But since you have tried NOD32 and find it great, I would suggest you switch to NOD32.

In any case, I personally believe customizing a bunch of different freeware would work more effectively than any internet security suite that norton or some other paid for brands can afford.

If you need to remove norton for good, please visit this thread.

Hi,

The most important thing to understand about internet security is it depends largely on the user. If you surf bad websites often, download cracks, keygens, pirated software all the time, then chances are you will get infected often no matter what defence you have if you are not careful.

Which is why different programs suit different needs. Some users have nearly zero knowledge on the use of the internet and the risks it carries. Some users know alot more. Thus they will need very different programs to cater to their needs. Knowing what program suits you best would start from understanding your own internet habits.

Hi,

Since you are using NOD32 now, I would suggest giving it sometime and continue trying it out. If it suits you, that'd be the best case scenario. If not, you'd understand deeper exactly why it does not suit you and in what areas. That would help you in your quest for a better internet security program.
