    Anyway, I run Norton Antivirus on quite a few computers. And to be frank, I'm tired of it. Last night I was working on a PowerPoint and when the stuff updated I had to fine tune it and go through troubleshooting before the damn thing would let me finish it. I was wondering if there was another program out there that did the same job (if not better) for an equal or less price? My free trial is about to run out and I really don't want to go back with the lamers.

    Thanks.

    Hah, I used Norton for quite a while, years ago, but it was always troublesome. Don't even DARE to touch the newer ones.
    I use bitdefender for major Trojans, and it does a nice job - on a side note, it found about a hundred of trojans in Norton Antivirus... how lame could it get, really... >_> - So all in all, I hate Norton. I really do.

    AVG Free is good enough (that's what I use); if I wanted a commercial one I'd try Panda first.

    Well, i hate panda, but not because of its bad, or the like, it is because the damm thing DOESN'T turn off the update warnings, and it is really annoying, other than that, probably is the same good.
