Symantec Executive warns against free Anti-Virus

According to Symantec, the free Anti-Virus apps do not provide adequate amount of protection against viruses and worms.

“If you are only relying on free antivirus to offer you protection in this modern age, you are not getting the protection you need to be able to stay clean and have a reasonable chance of avoiding identity theft,” said David Hall, a Product Manager for Symantec.

Instead, I keep my netbooks and notebooks away from Symantec and Norton products as they greatly slow down my computers. This is despite the fact that both of those companies claim that they do not slow down the computers, but sadly, they do. I prefer Eset NOD32 on all of my netbooks (I’m not affiliated to Eset) as it does not slows down my netbook and offers great protection. There used be a time, when I used to consider the free AVG anti-virus reliable, but lately I have discovered that it is no longer effective in tussling with the modern viruses and worms.

What anti-virus app do you guys use on your netbooks/notebooks?
