Bin Norton and get AVG free version, spybot and adaware, these three bits of software are all free and don't use anywhere near the resources on a pc that Norton does, i've had computers with Norton and MacAfee grind to a halt with them on

yes there all good, and free!! and you can get em all here... http://download.cnet.com/windows/

I've used Norton for years and never had a virus or intrusion. Neither has my PC ever ground to a halt. Use free stuff, then wait for the inevitable.

only had a virus once (with norton) been on avg and spybot for 4/5 years and never had any probs at all, guess it depends on what sites you go surfing on

Must depend on how old you PC is, My kids laptops are new enough and fast enough that Norton made no problem, but the old desktop that I use at home was crippled by Norton, so it has AVG and all is good.

Both the Laptops went to AVG when Norton expired, and no virus problems [touch wood!]
