Internet Security Program
Ok folks, I am going to be purchasing an internet security/anti-virus program very soon. I've had Norton for the last few years and although it has (for the most part) run well, there have been a few frustrations here and there with them. I'm looking for feedback as to what program I should look at.
Try Avast Antivirus. I've been using it for a little less then a year and haven't had any issues with it. It is also free.

I have been using Norton for about 4 yrs, but I also have a XoftSpy anti spyware adware progrgam. Norton requires some fine tuning and some of their default settings are just a little too restrictive. A new year will be upon us soon, and I have other options. My Cable ISP has a scan & firewall, Windows XP-SP2 also has a scan & firewall, they are both free but I am not sure how well they will protect my puter. So at this point I don't know if I an going to stay with Norton, or go somewhere else.

Re: Internet Security Program
I've heard of that - Best Buy pushes that program. How do you like it? Subscription costs?

I use Symantec Corporate AV. The consumer version looks like it would annoy the crap outa me.

Re: Internet Security Program
You do realize that (good) virus makers know how to get around Norton?

Which is why they update daily.

Re: Internet Security Program
There is no such thing as a totally secure anitvirus program, firewall, etc. That is why I update daily, separate myself from the Internet with a router, run a good firewall and have spyware/adware/virus protection. The key is a multilayered defense. Even that is all well and good but I bet I could hide a virus in some porn, get you to visit the link and infect you because you bypassed all of the security by requesting to download the virus/worm that was attached to the picture. Happens everyday.Which is why they update daily.
