Which Security?
I've currently got Norton installed on my office pc & have finally been given permission to change it for some form of decent security.
Which is the best to use?

Re: Which Security?
norton is pretty poor . also most antivirus especialy norton will slow your syetem down a lot
use avg they do a free version as well as one you pay for but not much difference between the two if you ask me |

Re: Which Security?
another vote for free AVG. does just what you need. Remember you need a firewall as well as AV, Zone Labs do a free version of Zone alarm but its geting haredr to find it on their site.

Re: Which Security?
Ntl have a free set of security programs but access is limited to Ntl customers only, it works very well for a freebie.

Re: Which Security?
I've just discovered that tha Norton i have got installed is also a firewall. I really don't like ZoneAlarm, i've had problems in the past.
