    I tend to go more by actual readers reviews then article reviews. I trust real people more. Norton always scores badly when it come to reader reviews mainly because I think of problems installing, uninstalling, lousy tech support, and slowing your system down to a crawl. I am sure Norton is excellent in terms of protection its just can you live with these other problems that article reviews tend to overlook.

    Yes it does. But having used both, I would say that ZASS has a much better firewall (ZA Pro) and spam filter.

    as appster said i believe they scored them on the whole app not just the virus scanner. so they may have liked something about za suite better personally i didbt find that suite all that great. it just seemed like it was not well integrated into itself. kind like ca but the zone suite def was better than ca was but it fealt like they just took apps from different companies and put them together. maybe its better now but i didnt like it imo
