    Hello,

    I was in search for best solution to secure my important documents as well as my outsourced data. While browsing through internet I searched for data security, outsourced document security, I came across very good document security solutions provider “Seclore”. They are really good and helped me to protect all my sensitive information, data which is inside my office as well as data which I outsourced.

    It’s really worth taking such solutions from a reliable document protection solutions provider. You can visit "Seclore" Site.

    ^ Direct Comparison of the two. From http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=105673

    Norton came out on top by alot. Plus it doesnt slow down at all, while Bitdefender slows startup and proformace badly.

    The program itself is pretty cheap and can even be found for free from time to time. I'm pretty sure they mainly get you through the yearly license fees. Out of the two paid software, I'd go with Norton. If I had to pick among all the choices I'd go with Avira or NOD32.
