I am using ESET NOD 32 antivirus.It is really fast and does not slow down your computer even a bit.It can scan a harddisk of 200gb fully filled up in 7 minutes.You can try norton which offers all round protection.But it slows down the computer very much.Give NOD 32 a try...!!!

We quit using Norton years ago. I use the free AVAST and my husband uses the free AVG. Neither of us has had a problem since using these two anti-virus programs. But we also use Advanced Windows Care Personal which is also a free download. It will check your computer for different problems, including checking your registry. And then it will repair the problems.

AVG AntiVirus - AVG AntiVirus is a great system and it is free at: http://free.avg.com/
I live and swear by AVG, it is a great system and best of all it is free! I have had Norton, McAfee, and others and every one of them had their drawbacks but AVG I have not had a single problem with. So if you want my honest opinion then I would have to say AVG as it has never did me wrong and it is free. Have a great day and happy computing!!!

Hi Matt, Norton is good, but it is also very bad. It will take up a lot of your memory, and it will make your system SSSSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW, real slow. Well, if you system is very "capable", you can try it, else, get some lighter weight antivirus. AVG, avira are good ones, and free !!!

Norton is good, but I prefer the anti-virus software from trendmicro called Trend Micro Internet Security (PC-cillin). Whichever one you choose, I suggest you choose quickly as there are to many threats on the net to be surfing without any
