I agree with changeyourmind, Norton is a very good Antivirus and Firewall combination. Many people think that Norton is a system memory hog, but i do not agree with this, sure the past versions did eat up alot of memory but the latest versions have run faster than ever on my PC. Now you might read this and think that Norton is rubbish but thats your opinion. I have had thousands of different Antivirus suites, and so far none of them have been able to beat Norton in finding and removing viruses, trojan horses, spyware without error. I had Avast and sure it was a pretty good program but i could not find an option to update virus protection, and scan my computer when i choose to. That really annoyed me and stopeped me from using it. Another program i had was Panda Antivirus, i think i chose the one with a firewall but it always stopped my programs accesing the internet and vice versa. Also when i could easily tell that i have a virus, and wanted to remove it, i searched and searched in Panda and it would not locate it! I installed Norton Antivirus 2006 and updated Virus definitions and instantly it found 14 virus. Now im not saying the other Antivirus programs arent good, this is just my experiences with them, you may actually support Avast as it found a virus that Norton did not. Anyway I suggest Norton Antivirus 2007 for anyone looking for a good virus program. And as changeyourmind said, the update downloads are a great option, especially since you can configure it to update them at a certain time or scan for virus at any time you want.

i use norton antivirus,it really makes your system unpenetrable if you are updating it rgularly but the problem with norton is that it makes your pc really slow as it uses a lot of your resource,i am thinking of trying out mcafee,but seems to be costly ,so may be i need to take help of bittorrent hehe

for antivirus i use NOD32, for spyware and adware i use both AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy, i don't really need more than that, and all of them are free too ^^

If you're looking for something free and good, then I'd have to suggest AVG Antivirus. In my opinion, it's actually better than Norton and all of those other bulky, not-free Antivirus suites. It doesn't consume as many resources, and best of all, it's FREE!

Honestly I think Norton is crap. Who would drop $80 a year on a software that does basically the same thing as a free anti-virus software? I have CA Antivirus that came with my ISP browser. It works fine and since it's free and it gets the job done, I'm happy with it. Ever since I've had this computer I haven't gotten one virus.
