avast or norton internet security with firewall from att and yahoo?

i have norton internet security with firewall that came with my account from at&t high-speed internet. i recently just scanned my computer for adware virus and spyware. the results showed that everything was going fine and everything is running well. i then inserted my flash drive from sandisk that came with a prinstalled anti virus (avast). i know that i had just recently scanned my computer for viruses with norton but i was curious so i scanned my computer with avast. when the scan just started a warning poped up that one of my files was infected with an adware (win32:adware-gen). i could not believe it because i had just scanned. so then i clicked the file that was infected and scanned it with Norton. it said again that it was all fine and nothing was wrong. i then opened ad-aware and spybot and they did not report anything. i then deleted the file and i got to thinking of if i should change my anti virus prgram form norton to avast. which should i pick?

Norton at best is a mediocre over-advertised program with very poor support since being bought by Network Associates. As a adware scanner it really lacks. It is also very heavy on system resources. Go the the desktop control panel for it, disable or turn off, and remove it through add/remove. Get rid of anything Norton or Symantec. Reboot your system and load Avast. You can also use the listed site as one of the highest rated adware sites.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Adware, or advertisingsupported software, is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer. These advertisements can be in the form of a popup. The object of the Adware is to generate revenue for its author. Adware, by itself, is harmless; however, some adware may come with integrated spyware such as keyloggers and other privacyinvasive software. Advertising functions are integrated into or bundled with the software, which is often designed to note what Internet sites the user visits and to present advertising pertinent to the types of goods or services featured there. Adware is usually seen by the developer as a way to recover development costs, and in some cases it may allow the software to be provided to the user free of charge or at a reduced price. The income derived from presenting advertisements to the user may allow or motivate the developer to continue to develop, maintain and upgrade the software product. Conversely, the advertisements may be seen by the user as interruptions or annoyances, or as distractions from the task at hand.
