    I had norton, Cost me 50 quid. Turned out it didn't stop the virus that ate at a quarter of the files in my HDD. Switched to AVG Free Edition, and never looked back :)

    You really need at least two firewalls to keep out the maggots roaming the 'net

    Even if you only use one PC, it's worth the price to use a router just for the hardware firewall

    Norton doesnt suk, that report hasn't be confirmed, for me AVG really suked, i was attacked continusly. Too save faith i have about 4 different ant-spyware and ad-ware programs, along side Norton, and nothing has ever gone wrong, the only time something went wrong was when i got impatient waiting for something to download and i turned norton off, the moment i turned it off my hdd mash up
