I'm using Norton and I had a 30 day trail and tomorrow's my last day   It was the best secure virus protection EVER!

Does anyone know a really good one like Norton? There are too much anti-virus programs so I need a good ASAP!

I'd say Norton was worth buying, but if you google it, I'm sure you could find other ones that are free. But, be warned, there are some out there that are scams/viruses. So, check and make sure people haven't reported it as being a scam.

If you are looking for a free anti virus, then go with either AVG or Avast, they are both great, however I prefer Avast.

If you are going to pay for AV protection, at least spend your money on something worth it, and Norton sure as hell isn't worth your money. Try either, Nod32, Bit Defender or Zone Alarm Security Suite.  They are the best out there in my opinion.

Norton isn't all that it's cracked up to be.  I've had nothing but problems with it.

AVG and Avast are both much better,  both in coverage and in cost.  They catch pretty much everything, are easy to use, and are entirely free.

Do NOT get CA. Its the biggest piece of shit ever. I had over 180 viruses one day. I recommend macafee. Its safe, simple, and is much better than CA (piece of shit)
