Any time you can get a top-rated program like AVG 7.5 free, instead of paying a big price for a program that is rated #5 in the lists of antivirus programs like Norton is, there should not be any question about which to use.

It's totally AVG it's FREE!!!!!!!! Norton anti-virus does not work so well. Don't take NAV!! You don't want to pay a big price for something that's worse then something free!

Norton is a resource hog that will slow you pc to a stop. Plus it is one of the very worse programs for years. And continues in that direction. Will not protect you and if you try to remove the program you are left with about 375 fragments of Nortons hidden all over your system and will cause you serious conflict. Avg will miss alot of viruses.
I use a program that you pay a one time fee for life of $29.99 and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

IMO, Grisoft AVG is better since it has a free home version that has the same (or better) capabilities as NAV and it uses less resources. Did I mention AVG has a free version? :)
