bhenji, i like norton . even though i takes lots of resources, but even then, its good antivirus. has a solid firewall . i m searching for it all over but can't get it. can u please give me the full version of norton antivirus.

Veerji, i never liked avg free. it just irritates me. looks like a lalu panju software. yeah, if not norton, the i used to prefer mcafee or zone alram. but norton is not all that bad except for slowing the speed.

avg is just an anti virus aint it?? where as Norton is an all in one job? maybe thats why it takes more resources?

Well, I personally use F-secure (Kaspesky) Internet Security. Not only is it better than Norton (97% vs 96%), it is much faster, and much much cheaper. It is also a full package, including antivirus, antispyware, firewall, parental controls (if needed), IEfilter, phishing filters (if needed).

So there are other alternatives that are better. There was a time when I refused to use anything but Norton. But looking at the bloatness and cost of their software, it becomes harder and harder to justify using it.
