It's almost time for me to renew Norton. Just wondering what you all use for virus protection and what you all think is the best?

Personally, I like AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AOL AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb)
And it updates 15 to 20 times a day with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.
Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

Trend Micro PC-cillin; results are basically the same as far as detecting virus and all (for Trend Micro/McAfee/and Nortons), but it's much user friendly and much faster. Consumer reports votes it the best, and I have to agree. Originally I had PC-cillin, switched to Nortons, then switched back and glad I did.

I like to use Kasperksy anti-virus because it's doesn't slow down the computer and is effective
if you don't want to pay for it, you can use AOL Active Shield (www.activevirusshield.com/) which is basically a free version of Kaspersky (without some of the non-essential features)...i use it and it's really good...almost no difference from the regular kaspersky

I really don't like Norton but they advertise good. I use the free AVG virus protection and have always found it to be as good as anything out there. Just type AVG in your search engine.

East or West Norton is the BEST
