Norton won't let me into my internet banking

Lally

My laptop completely broke down last week after doing a Windows Update and I had to put it in for repair (first time ever!)

I used to have Avast but the guy didn't recommend it and now I have a free trial of Norton 360 When trying to access my internet banking (even though it is https) I get this:-

No option to continue, close or nothing. Should I just remove Norton and go for Avast again, or should I try something else? (he recoomended Norton or Kapersky)

For starters Don't Install Nortons that is the worst thing you could do , and he shouldn't recommened it, its a overhyped bit of software.

Remove it all and i would recommened using Kaspersky.

I thought it was rubbish, I just wanted a second opinion. I tried it before, didn't like it then and don't like it now!

yer i used to use it. then it starts dragging the computer down, and not finding virus's. All it is , is because its a big name, big companis like PCworld, currys comet etc do things like "Get the Best Name Internet Security On The Market for Only £24.99 -Nortons Internet Security - SomePcMagazine recommends it 9/10" lol

I would get rid of the Norton and go for AVG its free and works fine, here's the link; http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition?cmpid=fr_bn_free_670

I used AVG before and binned that too, when I was hit by a virus. Avast was recommended to me on here at that time. They are both free, which one should I go for?

I'm running AVG and haven't had any problems so far, whatever security you use just make sure you back up your files on a disc every few weeks. There is a whole section on the MSE main pages dedicated to this;
