It was the only thing I heard would stop a NetBIOS attack.

Avast! is pretty good?

netBIOS attack? There's dozens of attacks that exploit holes in NetBIOS. Not to mention that fact that it's tunneled in IP by default and isn't propagated past your local gateway unless somebody is directing something at specific service ports. There are a ton of firewalls out there that prevent port scanning and specific TCP/UDP service port attacks, and none of them are as awful as Symantec.

Avast! is the best anti-virus, hands down.
