Between AVAST and SYMANTEC, what would you choose?

well dear.. you are asking which is better Ferrari or Local Auto brand. it's ofcourse Ferrari.. in my view symantec is far far better than Avast in comparison of resource utilization, protection, blocking attacks, user friendlyness and decision maker.. only thing is you need to pay more symantec. but it's really the best antivirus among mostly all products..

I have ever use both Avast and Symantec. I don't like Symantec since it was make my computer run slower. I never compare about the performance in removing viruses between symantec and Avast. But I prefer to choose Avast since I can install it in safe mode of Windows XP. When my computer was infected by viruses and no anti virus software could be installed due to blocked by the virus, I tried to booting my XP in safe mode. I succeeded to install it then plan to performed on booting scan. Avast could remove most viruses. Then I remove avast from my computer and install McAfee 8.5 to clean all viruses. Now, I use McAfee 8.5 combine with local anti virus software. I only use Avast only if my computer has infected by viruses. I don't like use avast as my main anti virus because it bother me when find viruses and never take the action by it self. Avast always show warn and ask me what to do. Some time this make me confuse and bothered me as well. While using Mcafee, it will take the action when find viruses by cleaning, quarantine or deleted them.

I like Avast a whole lot better. It's faster and I feel its safer than Symantec. Symantec slows your computer down, only to do the same thing Avast does while keeping your computer at optimum speed. You're better off switching to avast.

We had tried Avast before and I assure you, It would make your pc start up very slow. I'm not familiar with Symantec though. I think you should try AVG. It's really great, It's not making our pc very slow like avast did plus you can get the serial key that will last untill feb 2018 in the internet..
