You're going to have to read the help file of your anti-virus program

It's personal; preference. I switched over to AVG's free edition and it does
everything Norton ever did for me. Plus I got a little miffed at Norton when
the cost of the annual subscription went from $5 to $15 to whatever - and
then they stopped producing virus definitions for a two year old version.
THAT really ticked me off.
