Norton is good ...Mcafee Semantic are other relaible options.

If you prefer online scanning then you better check out trendmicro dot com.Its a good option as well.

Norton is good, but I prefer the anti-virus software from trendmicro called Trend Micro Internet Security (PC-cillin).
Whichever one you choose, I suggest you choose quickly as there are to many threats on the net to be surfing without any happy

It would be hard to recommend Norton Anti-Virus as I think it has a lot of issue with using System Resources and makes you PC run a lot slower. I use AVG Anti-Virus and the new version 8 (free to download) seems to do the job for me. When it is scanning though it takes a while as it scans for spyware as well. If the link scanner is active it slows down your web surfing a bit as well.

Ever since using AVG, I think I have only ever had one or two viruses. There is so much anti-virus, anti-spyware anti-this and anti-that makes you wonder how much protection you actually need.

Thanks for your response, even i have heard that norton takes up lot system resources and makes the system go slow.

I am thinking to go for AVG

if you are looking for a free antivirus software, AVG antivirus is the best.

if you are looking for commercial software bitdefender is the best

AVG was free till a few maonths back...I guess they made it a paid product now...Anyway you can check it out.

For me AVG 8.0 is the best Anti virus it even has a anti spyware, e-mail scanner and Link Scanner for added protection, I've been using it for about four months now and I think I'm fully secured and my PC runs smoothly and there no indication of any spyware and virus on it. You can download it at (Download dot com) its free.

Hi Matt,

Norton is good, but it is also very bad. It will take up a lot of your memory, and it will make your system SSSSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW, real slow.

Well, if you system is very "capable", you can try it, else, get some lighter weight antivirus. AVG, avira are good ones, and free!!!

I live and swear by AVG, it is a great system and best of all it is free!

I have had Norton, McAfee, and others and every one of them had their drawbacks but AVG I have not had a single problem with.

So if you want my honest opinion then I would have to say AVG as it has never did me wrong and it is free.

Have a great day and happy computing!!!

No Norton Antivirus isnt the best for PCs, its good for business purposes etc. but if you're searching for a good standalone PC antivirus then you should opt for AVG 8. Its the best, never slows down your PC infact speeds it up. Never hangs the PC. Cleans every single frame bit. Provides Internet security. Updates are smaller in size and fast. Highly recommended by PC world magazine and other magazines.
