Answer 6

Norton is far from good. It doesn't detect everything and slows down your computer tremendously. I myself use McAfee & Nod32. And it works fine. But facts are facts, check this website.

Personally I use and recommend the following as they are  a doddle to use and they are free, but give excellent protection.

Many will argue that AVG and Zone Alarm are better, but AVG has lower detction rates and is also less functional, Zone Alarm is ok, but Online Armor also give better protection, especially over ports and HIPS.

norton is crapware old code bloated to extreme levels of over anoyance that will bog down your pc over time mcafee is just as bad only problem with mcafee is it never catches anything when norton some times does

and after all the problems with avg and there update issues lately why would any one trust a program that cant even keep simple updates good , you wanna trust your 900 dollar computer with that c**p seriously ?
