Answer 5

i would go with norton internet security it has total protection.  It can be a little pricey but it is worth it.  There is also norton 360 which is just a little downgrade from the norton internet security.but still is a good anti-virus.  what ever you do stay away from Mcafee it will slow your computer down quite a bit.
