The (+) of NAV2002
1.Email protection is on by default(which is not the case with 2001)
2.OUTGOING mail is ALSO checked.(by default)
the above 2 options are the main +es as your emails(if you use an email client eg OutlookExpress or Eudora or Bat etc etc) are the primary source of a virus coming into your system.
3.Nav2001 is a problem on XP and 2000.
The (-) of NAV2002
1.Dont appreciate the HTML kind of Interface very much.
2.Yes the Installation does give a problem sometimes.
3.Symantec itself has said that an up-to-date Nav 2001 will do just as good a job in detecting a new virus as Nav2002 will.
Verdict:
USE MAIL CLIENT TO CHECK MAIL - ARE ON WIN2K or WINXP - 2002
WIN98 USER - WEB BASED MAIL CHECKING - NOVICE - 2001
Tip:
In Either case PLEASE DO REGULARLY UPDATE YOUR ANTIVIRUS. USE LIVEUPDATE IF YOU ARE ON A SINGLE PC. DOWNLOAD THE VIRUS DEFINITIONS FROM THE SYMANTEC SITE. A NON-UPDATED ANTIVIRUS CANT DO CRAP AGAINST ANY NEW VIRUS THAT COMES IN.
