    What issues?

    I have been running it ever since the beta on Windows 7 64-bit with no issues whatsoever.

    Just did a test similar to yours using 10 new links.

    Norton 2010

    - Detected 9
    - Missed 1



    MSE

    - Detected 6
    - Missed 4

    A-Squared

    -Detected 8
    -Missed 2

    Norton 360

    - Detected 7
    - Missed 3


    AVAST 5

    - Detected 5
    - Missed 5


    AVAST did the worst
    About your testing?

    Why Norton 360 and Norton 2010 have different result?

    Just thinking they have the same Virus database updates right?

    I mean their detection is the same?

    They only have different additional protection... Correct me if im wrong?

    NIS 2010 has SONAR, the version of 360 I have does not have it. SONAR caught the ones 360 missed.

    Well, sure sounded like there was some major issues and you couldn't run it or something based on your post.

    The boot scan feature is not in the 64-bit version as stated right in the software. Avast claims they will have it in a future version due out soon. Not really concerned about that. That's why I have layered defense as well as other scanners like Hitman Pro to scan to see if there are any issues for free.

    Its really funny.

    Avast Free compared to Paid Norton Internet Security

    Did you try Avast Internet Security? I mean did you try sandbox?

    I do hope norton has sandbox?

    100% of your system is safe using sandbox even new malware.

    AV's cant detect new malwares it need to update your AV's right?

    Sandbox dont need to update. Even latest malware cant harm your system.

    If Norton has sandbox then i would agree norton is the safest AV's or Internet Security of all.

    Why even pay for Avast! Internet Security? Use Avast! Free (or seeing as it gets mentioned so much on these forums, MSE) with Sandboxie.
