Thank you all.
As mentioned the software is not for me. I have mentioned the alternatives, but what more can I do.
For all you doubting thomas' how many time do you find the item you need is cheaper via an informed forum than the best trade deals out there.
Think I will advise a purchase from Tesco, Amazon or Play all on line.

Finally my 2p. For the money and the average user the interface & support offered by Norton is second to none. There is no such thing as a free lunch anymore. Very true You go for the free optionions and you are still left wondering if it's as good as xxxx and spending time running additional scans etc. Nope - no additional scans Avast does everything I want/need
For less than £10 per computer per year. Worth more thank that for the piece of mind it brings.

I have piece of mind - for free.

I do appreciate that the software is not for you and if someone wants to spend money then so be it.

You came onto a forum, asked for opinions, people gave them to you and ignored everything everyone said.

Why bother asking in the first place?

Well I did ask for the best place to buy NIS not for an alternative.

Else I would have posted Need an alternative to NIS prefer free.

The original post did say my while my head was thinking "my parents friends"

So think you should probably read the question first, not just give an answer to what you think the question should be.

And if you were wondering I use Comodo also free and so far quite good!!!

Well he/she got the usual load of rubbish about how NIS is a memory hog and slows down the PC.
This has been gone over time after time after time on this forum.
The early versions (2005,2006 etc) were a menace. NIS 2010/2011 is not and does not slow down the PC.

Perhaps the OP knows all this (and them being a current user just might possibly be relevant here!)
Hence they were less than impressed with the rants about how it slows down the PC is in response to their question.

It may also be that the OP is using it for business/self employed purposes - and we all know (don't we) that the various free anti-virus offerings are for personal use only and not not for business use: The OP did mention more than one PC in their posting.
Personally I would not want to be doing e-communication with a business which did not have a business rated paid for anti-virus suite in place.

You are correct that Norton is better than it was, but you're guilty of the same out of date thinking There is a free security suite with the same initials as this forum!

Yes, Russ, but MSE is an antivirus program, not an Internet Security Suite! (You may need to look up the difference... )

And I use MSE on all the computers which don't have KIS on them!

To be fair to the OP - they didn't

Jeeze some people on this forum really have it in for Norton.

Ok, three or four years ago Norton was the biggest pile available, it hogged up memory and was slower than a slow thing. It is now one of the best in terms of security and speed, people who say otherwise are just going what they knew several years ago and haven't bothered to actually check it out.

Yes there are free alternatives around but they aren't as good as Norton or Kaspersky or even the paid versions. I wouldn't touch AVG anymore with a long pole (Avast or MSE are both excellent)

Right now Norton IS/360 or Kaspersky Pure are the best in terms of protection, removal and performance (with Norton narrowing edging it on performance) you can get other ones but you need a bit of knowhow in order to use them whereas Norton or Kaspersky just work.

Take yer pick,

Not my cup of tea, but the customer gets what the customer wants....

PS anyone know or care what the difference is between 360 and NIS?

PS2. Seen a computer on Sunday where they'd paid nearly £60 for a year's McAfee online. Fools and their money....

I recently bought a NIS 2011 1 year 3 pc licence for $32 from vogmart (perfectly legit site), however I found they gave me a 2 year licence!

Ps
I used to absolutely hate Norton products. But all you Norton haters will now be shocked to see that Norton products are now fast, light with very high detection rates
