I've been looking around for a new anti-virus/spyware/firewall
provider as I'm highly dissatisfied with the Norton products - not so
much on the technical end, but their incessant begging for renewal
starting two months before the license is up.

I stumbled into AVG on the recommendation of a friend. She says it
works great and prefers it to Norton by a factor of 10.

Anybody else use it? I'm leaning towards AVG, but just want another
opinion.

I have used AVG in the past. I seem to recall it affecting my boot speed and
or program load/run time. Sorry that's all I remember and improvements may
have been made to the software since. I have been using Avast for the last
couple of years and have no complaints about it. It even found an attempted
invasion a few months ago.
