let me give you the rankings. Ask any computer professionals. They will certify me. 1) NOD32 2) Kaspersky 3) Norton 4) AVG Antivirus The problem with Norton is that it takes a portion of the root sectors of the hard disks permanently for its own use which will not be given back to the hard disk even if you uninstall Norton. And it takes a lot of physical memory. I suggest you to go for NOD. I am using it! Its truelly great! It can detect hiding files which no other antivirus programs can detect. Go to www.wtalk.org where you can get the download link for all softwares.

Hi there and welcome to mylot:) I have Avast which I really like, I tried Norton,AVG, and a few others, but Avast is best by far for me, they update more frequently than any other. Here is a link for it in case you want to try it: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Hope this helps you:)

I am using AVG Free Edition.. why? because its free to download, and it only consume few memory.I seldom use norton anivirus, because it consume large amount of memory...specially during start-up/boot-up.It's not advisable to use norton for slow computer..If you want to use norton better upgrade ur PC..

As most the replies here i also recommend AVG free edition, been using it for years and it's excellent, all paid programs has nothing more than AVG free and if they do it will be something you never use .. as for protection quality it's reported to be more efficient than Norton and most major ones.
