I prefer it, because:
Fast scanning engine
No nag screens
Automaticly updates itself without ANY interaction
It's free

They always tend to preload a program like Norton onto new PCs and then say "time's up, pay up" after a month... I suppose they make money out of lots of people who are new to PC's. Shame on them!

Apparently. MS are also looking into getting into the AV market, but since most viruses target their software, it's about time
