    FF FTW

    Norton just doesn't HOG resources, if it flakes out good luck unflaking it :rolleyes:

    and what about uninstalling it? good luck there too...heck, you have to DL special uninstallers from Symantec b/c the add/remove programs only does part of the job for you :rolleyes:

    McAfee is good, and if you're looking for a free one AVGfree.

    I have always had a bit of affection for AVAST antivirus mostly for home use. Good quality and GREAT price. Just my 2 cents!

    avast & avg are two of the most popular free ones, avir being up there also.

    Kaspersky came out on top in benchmark testing.
    Nod 32 was second.
    After that you can go for McAfee, Norton, AVG.

    Norton had the best firewall and the best anti spyware prog is Super Anti Spyware and web root spysweeper is ok but not as good.

    I wrote an e-book about all of this last year. If anyone is interested I may put it up on a buyers post.
