Intivir is the terrible, whenever it updated the definitions it always
uninstalled itself and reinstalled it self, taking forever to do.... Of
course now i have AVG and have been very happy with it, i always
recommend it to all my customers as a cheep alternative to norton or
other such paid antivirus programs.

Something i will say for AVG is that recently i ran Norton on a machine
and it came back clean... i then uninstalled norton and promptly
installed AVG and did a full system scan to find 5 viruses that norton
hadnt picked up. So in my book AVG's a clear winner.
