I use AVG Free on two heavily used computers, both on the internet for prolonged periods daily and have not had a single problem in 3 years.
I used to run Norton and found it slowed everything down to a crawl.

I am a board certifed clinical psychiatrist and have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean.
Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.
I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.
http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee 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.

I use AVG free edition. Small file size for download, regular (at least weekly) free updates and has some good features and options.
I will never go back to paying for an anti-virus program since I've started using this. I can honestly say, in over a year I have never had one virus problem on my PC.

McAfee AntiVirus 2007....it is a wonderful program that does wonders at protecting you. Norton is good too, but I would really recommend AntiVirus 2007.
Why?
1. It allows you to do more things, and scans for more things such as viruses, spyware, adware, and trojans.
2. It is a greatly designed program that is easy to navigate, 1 button sets off a scan! You can schedule scans and disable whatever you want anytime you want.
3. The firewall has a list of accepted programs that it updates itself with(I'm pretty sure) and so you won't have to click "Allow" for every single program you want to access the internet (e.g. internet explorer)
Norton, on the other hand, does not have most of these features.

you ought to use Avira , Avast .Avg, Avira and Avast supply unfastened downloads and the two artwork great, despite if Avast does decelerate your comp. Avg additionally has a unfastened trial which nevertheless works good. Myself i take advantage of Avira , Malwarebytes * click on the unfastened get carry of* and CCleaner ** ccleaner will do away with all of the left over bits **
