prathapml Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Well, I'd say:1. SAV9 is newer - so expects more resources to be available.2. Its recommended for win2k/XP machines, better don't use it for the 9x series.@moderators-Maybe a change of topic title is appropriate?"symantec Virus 9 and win98" could be changed to "symantec Anti-Virus 9 and win98". Because a virus is not the same as Anti-Virus, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislavs Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 My doesnt have anti-virus system, and therefore it runs fast (if without the CPU problem i have)I just download trial anti-virus software each few months. I never had a virus before ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
