Claiming an OS is antivirus software is silly, as is claiming vista to be more secure than any linux distro. (emphasis mine) No, it's not silly, it's called being educated.

If it can't be done without ruining centering of items in english, perhaps it's good to add an "international" variation, where things are fitted appropriately.

[quote who="Salotus" reply="8" id="2161974"] No, I basically just assumed. Truthfully, the fact that I have dll problems and Norton may not be related at all, this is the internet after all I don't have to be a reliable source of intel. Also some evidence that backs up your claim, I replaced the apparently corrupted dll with one I found of the internet which was suppose to solve the problem, but nothing changed.

Could have been at av-comparatives . If you read their first main test of the year, you'll notice that Symantec beats pretty much every other suite. It detects more malware than Kaspersky (incidentally, ESET Nod32 falls behind on pretty much everything too), it does it faster, and with less false positives. Personally, I call Symantec the overall winner in that test because it's the only suite combining great detection and low amoun
