The skinny is that the big guys are quicker to release updates then the
cheaper ones.  That being said ANY virus checker is better then *NONE*.

Norton provides updates primarily on Wednesdays. But if their is new virus
out thats pretty readical they release new defs.  If you really want daily
updates there are ways to get them.  Check their site.  The last def the was
released for Live Updates was 3/8/2004 but they have 3/10/2004 out today.

Don't worry some schmoe will disable Panda next time.  It's only a matter of
time.
