My stock Norton 2002 has run out and I'm an internet sitting duck!!! AAAAgggh!
What do you guys and gals like in the simple - "set it and forget it" software?
Should I just re-up to the newest Norton for $50?? Inquiring minds want to know.

PS - no one call here between 1 and 4PM EST today ...... My E*A*G*L*E*S will be winning game number FIVE!! Whoo Hooooo Bring it on baby! Payback time !!!!!!!!

If we loose this game - I'll sell my G1000 to anyone from Carolina for $500!

Dave,

I'm a Huge Norton fan. They catch all the latest viruses, they release virus patches what seems to be daily, they are proactive, they catch adware, email, and many other threats. I just re-upped with their 3-pack and have it running on all my children's computers as well. They are a solid company and their product will not interfere and create problems with your computer like some other products do.

I've been using Norton now for over 12 years now.

Re-Up...it's the right thing to do.

AVG from Grisoft. It's better than Norton and it's FREE.

Hello Dave,

I've been running Norton Antivirus products on my computers since 1995. I have NEVER had a virus infection that Norton didn't detect, delete, quarantine or deal with.

It's a no brainer for me, all of my upgrades are to Norton AV products. I don't upgrade every year... usually about every 2. I am currently running Norton Antivirus 2003 and will probably upgrade to 2005 this upcoming summer.

Just my opinion. Hope it helps.

Norton has been doing a fine job for my PCs for many years, even thru the kid's teenage "exploring" years into forbidden websites (Thank you Norton summary reports).

There are many PC mags with 'experts' doing A/B/C... comparison testing. You don't find the testers all agreeing on just one. But, Norton is always one of the preferred choices. For what its worth, a major organization that I work for is also using Norton (the corporate package).

There is one dislike I have.
It won't block the junk music that the kids download!!

UD,

Ebay is an inexpensive way to upgrade Norton. I've been doing it for several years. Saves lots of $$$.

Have fun!
