We use AVG without problem. We did find Norton quite difficult to uninstall just found it too intrusive.

AVG is FREE and is an excellent programme and it IS always up dated regularly. My son is an IT Consultant and highly recommends it for home users. Wendy

OC if you do happen to have problems after uninstalling NOrton, can I suggest this site for assistance? http://forums*techguy*org/ Keith

OC I too have AVG and have had no problems with it yet - had it about 20 months now and it's free. They do regular updates on them also. Debby

I can't recommend any FREE one's OC ... my motto is, you get what you pay for. Free one's only have limited capabilities and are NOT upto date with latest Virus's etc. I'm sure someone will give you the name of an adequate one for tonight, but I would seriously think about purchasing a well know one soon peeps. I KNOW what's its like to have your PC wiped in a matter of seconds because of a virus :-( Good Luck for the foreseeable future ... Elaine ;-) There you go, two people have offered same name !

Hi OC, I suggest that you try AVG7 its free for personnal use. www*grisoft*com replace * with . Keith PS if you do install this I suggest that you remove your other package as having two A/Virus packages can be as bad as having none!
