Hi jalemi,

Welcome to Techmonkeys.

In my personal opinion Norton is a big waste of money anyway.
Its a resource hog and not overly better than free Anti virus .

AVG was well rated by security people a year or so ago but these days (as far as i know - and i am no expert) it isn't regarded as being as good as it used to be.

Still nothing wrong with it and i would still use it.

I use avast at home at the moment and i find it very good.

P.S how do you know the Master Monkey ?

I worked at 1car1 should have known he would be the master. I hear he has been helping my sister in law aswell he gets a bout a bit.

AVG sucks this year and probably will do for years to come, they are adding too much too fast.

Avira forever now.

Hi Jackie

Glad to see your now officially a monkey

AVG is a good enough product, but has some annoying features such as the need to re-register it each year.

Personally I am with Belhazur and use Avira http://www.free-av.com/ which is just as good but less annoying bits.

p.s. who's your sister in law?

jalemi, Avast would be a good choice. It's an excellent anti-virus. I personally use Avira. It's done a fantastic job at protecting my computer!

At present i am using Microsoft security essential as security of computer from viruses. It is available free from the internet. I think norton is another antivirus which best for security purposes.
