If I could I would cancel Norton.

The problem is I don't know what to replace it with.

AVG Free. Automatic updates. http://free.grisoft.com/

avast! is also good.

JimH,
Can you see how much memory AVG uses. McAfee uses about 25,000K

Less than a quarter of that.


Avast and AVG received the lowest ratings of the 12 anti-virus programs
tested by Consumer Reports. AVG was on the bottom.

Sept '07.......you are indeed correct. Trend Micro ($40) rated #1, avast!
(free) rated 11 and AVG (free) rated 12. The only negative comment was
regarding features on AVG.

But I have to doubt the ratings when Symantec (Norton) is rated #6. What a
joke.

In the end, use what you are comfortable with John but I would certainly not
rely on the Consumer Reports ratings when making the decision.


I use McAfee, as I stated many hours ago. I was simply adding information.
A couple here seem to take it personally.
