Just a note to the people who have norton 2008. If you're having trouble accessing shared files on other networked computers then make sure if the computer you're trying to access has norton click network map and then click the pc you are trying to access the files from and click full trust. I was dumbstruck until I realised.

AVG free is best.

all it is, is internet secturity. If I was worried there was spyware in my computer I would use a free online scan to find out. It does it's job well and thats all I care.

If you delate Norton, install AVG free you'll notice relieableity difference, not only that, you'll notice your company becoming more fast in speed wize.
Norton is like vista, a hog.

The best antivirus is NOD32 based on detection of in the wild (non-detected) viruses, the 2nd best based on detection is actually Norton, NOD32 is alot better though. It's smaller and more efficient, probably cause it's mainly coded in assembly code.

That's the problem most people have I think - their mum buys Norton because it's the market leader or whatever and then you're stuck with it until the expensive subscription runs out. I was telling my mum for ages that AVGfree and ZoneAlarm work much better (and don't slow the PC to a halt) but she didn't quite grasp it until an actual computer engineer told her the same :rolleyes: women lol

Rofl, my mum would believe having an elephant sit on top of the monitor would keep viruses away if I told her. I'd order her to take norton back to the shop and say the disc had poo on it or something adn get a refund. AVG and zonealarm haven't failed me yet!

NOD32 Security Suite is pretty damn pro I'd say, the best suite there is. (And fastest too ;))
